Notes
Don’t skip the orange zest as it's essential for flavor! Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days or in the fridge for a longer shelf life. You can freeze individual slices for up to three months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before serving. For a dairy-free or vegan version, substitute with appropriate alternative ingredients. Feel free to add nuts or use different types of chocolate for a unique twist! Enjoy your baking!
