Sunday afternoon therapy: make the below and then watch Tales from the Wild Wood.
Heat oven to 180ºC. Line an 8 in square cake tin with baking paper.
Over a simmering pan of water melt the butter, sugar, and choc in a large glass bowl. Stir it occasionally.
Remove the bowl from the saucepan and leave to cool.
Zest the orange and juice. Whisk these together with the eggs, vanilla, and salt.
Whisk the orange and egg mix into the cooled chocolate mix.
Sift the flour, cocoa, and baking powder onto the choc mix and fold it in. Fold in the white chocolate chips and juicy raisins too.
