Instructions
The Cake
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (gas mark 4, 350°F) and line two 20cm (8″) sandwich tins with parchment paper. Leave aside for later use.
- Place butter and sugar into a large mixing bowl and cream together until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs and vanilla (or orange extract) to the mixing bowl and mix together until evenly distributed.
- Add flour and cocoa powder to the mixing bowl and mix together until combined, then add two tablespoons of milk (this will make the mixture easier to stir).
- Split the cake mixture evenly between two sandwich tins and bake in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes.Once the cake is baked, leave the cake aside on a cooling rack for it to cool down.
The Chocolate Orange Buttercream
- Whilst the cake is baking, it’s time to make the buttercream.Break the chocolate orange apart and place into a large mixing bowl. Melt in the microwave on a medium heat, mix the chocolate every 10 to 20 seconds until completely melted.
- Place butter into a clean mixing bowl and whisk until smooth. Then add icing sugar, cocoa powder and vanilla and whisk together until combined.
- Add melted chocolate to the mixing bowl and whisk until combined. If the mixture is too hard and stiff add one to two tbsp of milk.
Building The Cake
- Once the cakes have cooled down, trim off the tops if they are domed shaped instead of being flat. Then place the bottom sponge onto a plate or serving dish.
- Using an offset spatula spread half of the buttercream on top of the bottom sponge, then place the second sponge on top.
- Spread the remaining buttercream and smooth over with an offset spatula. Decorate with extra chocolate orange pieces.
