Orange Dark Chocolate Cake image

So quick and easy. The orange is used with the skin on. I add chocolate chips and nuts to this recipe, so have listed the variation as an option. I suppose you could use any nuts realy or even some dried fruit. This is a very moist cake, so I serve it warm with cream, but it can be served cold with a citrus icing.
