does it have to be just choc, or can it be choc and orange?

i made this cake for df's 30th - just make sure to keep it out of reach of kids - my dd woke up the next mornin before we for up and choffed down 3 pieces...... its drowned in drambuie.

She was happy for a while, then felt a bit sick , threw up and went back to bed!

But its really really yummy......

Ingredients:
1 cup butter (not margarine)
1 1/4 cup white sugar
3 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup yogurt
1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 orange, grated zest only
2 squares unsweetened chocolate, melted
2 tablespoons orange liqueur
2 tablespoons orange juice

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350*. Grease and flour one 10 inch tube pan.

In a large bowl, cream the butter with 1 cup of the white sugar. Beat in the eggs, then the vanilla and the yogurt.

In another bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Beat the flour mixture into the creamed ingredients. Turn half of the batter into another bowl. Add the orange rind to one bowl and the melted chocolate to the other. Alternately spoon the orange and chocolate batters into a greased and floured tube pan. Swirl through the two batters with a knife to create a marbled effect.

Bake at 350* for 50 minutes. As soon as the done cake is removed from the oven, stir together the remaining 1/4 cup sugar, the orange juice, and the orange liqueur and pour over the still hot cake. Let the cake finish cooling on a rack before serving.

(if only i was at home to upload the pick - on top i put choc icing and,a s he was turnign 30 and was an avid fan of the movie 300, i cut a template of "30" written in the way 300 was for the movie and splattered the cake all over with red frosting, looked fantastic)

I have gone with making Ngala's one and it is currently in the oven baking away! I need to make 2 though because I want to put one on top of the other to give the cake some height.

D how did it turn out?
I'm thinking of making one of these... i'm unsure yet which one.

Going to test out my new silicone pan!

Ngala can it be milk/dark chocolate? I'm not keen on white chocolate and was thinking maybe i'd make a milk one.
I wonder if i could halve the batch and do a marble one.
