Preparation

Step 1

Combine salt, baking powder, baking soda, orange zest, and sugars in a large bowl.

In a medium sized bowl, combine eggs, milk, juice, and oil.

Mix ingredients from medium bowl into a larger bowl with the dry ingredients.

Fold in the praline and chocolate chips.

Bake at 350 for about 40-45 minutes in a non-stick loaf pan.

For the glaze:
combine about 1/3 cup cocoa, 1/2-2/3 cup powdered sugar, and 2-2 1/2 TBSP orange juice in a medium sized bowl, mix well...should have a slightly runny texture so that you can drizzle it over the cake after it's cooled.
