Chocolate Orange Jaffa Cake

I love the combination of chocolate and orange. I used to try to find a new recipe for my birthday dessert/cake each year. This is from the Kitchen Nostalgia blog http://www.kitchennostalgia.com/desserts/cakes/chocolate-orange-jaffa-cake.html. It's a bit too sweet for my taste, so I probably won't make it again.

Jaffa cakes are named after an Isaeli orange. The original Jaffa cakes were a British biscuit made by McVitie & Price beginning in 1927. McVitie's Jaffa Cakes are still available - Amazon has them.

This recipe does not truly replicate the McVitie Jaffa Cake. It is more cake-like than biscuit, for one thing, and the size is all wrong. The flavor is good, but the sweetness is a bit overwhelming - eat in small portions.
