  • CLAPHAM’S MASTERCHEF CHAMPION NIKITA PATHAKJI RETURNS TO THE BBC ✨👩‍🍳// Our very own @chefnikita.p winner of @masterchefuk The Professionals (2022), is back on the BBC but this time she’s not competing… she’s setting the Skills Test for the new chefs in the kitchen alongside @matt.tebbutt @galettigram @marcuswareing

    From lifting the trophy to challenging the next generation, it’s incredible to see her come full circle on the very show she won.

    Since her win, Nikita has continued building her reputation in top London kitchens and through her now always sold-out supper clubs including right here in Clapham.

    We had the pleasure of going to one, and honestly… it was exceptional. From champion to mentor and still flying the flag for Clapham.2d

Ballymaloe’s Famous Chocolate Orange Cake recipe

Serves 12

For the Orange Cake:

  • 4 eggs
  • softened butter
  • sugar
  • plain flour
  • 2 oranges
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

For the orange butter icing:

  • 1 orange
  • 110g (4oz, 1/2 cup) icing sugar
  • 55g (2oz, 1/4 cup) softened butter

For the chocolate icing:

  • 170g (6oz) chocolate
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 50g (2oz, 4 tablespoons) softened butter
  • 2 large eggs
Weigh the eggs. Take the same weight in butter, sugar and flour. Beat the butter and sugar together until pale and light in texture. Wash the oranges and add the finely grated rind of 2 and the juice of 1 to the butter mixture. Mix the flour and baking powder and add alternately with the eggs. Beat thoroughly. Bake in a 24cm (91/2in) tin in a moderate oven, 180°C/350°F/gas 4, for 50 minutes approx. Cool the cake and split it in two. Sandwich with the orange butter icing and spread the chocolate icing over the top and sides allowing any excess to run off.
To make the orange butter icing, finely grate the rind of the orange and squeeze out the juice. Beat the icing sugar, butter and orange rind together. Add in enough juice to make the icing a spreading consistency.
To make the chocolate icing, melt the chocolate in the water. Remove from the heat and beat in the butter and then the eggs very thoroughly. Leave to cool and set before icing and filling the cake.
