If chocolate orange is irresistible then this cake will be the new favorite around the block. Orange cream filled layers with a dark chocolate on top. Yumm!

As I most recently have a little time, I was surfing on the web last week. In search of new, intriguing tips, inspirational meals that We have never tasted before, to surprise my loved ones with. Hunting for a while but could not discover any interesting stuff. Just before I thought to give up on it, I found this delightful and easy treat by luck on Suncakemom. It seemed so fabulous on its image, that required fast action.

It had been not difficult to imagine just how it is made, how it tastes and just how much my husband might enjoy it. Mind you, it is rather easy to please him when it comes to desserts. Anyways, I went to the page and simply used the simple instuctions which were accompanied by wonderful shots of the method. It just makes life quite easy. I could suppose it’s a slight effort to take snap shots in the middle of cooking in the kitchen as you typically have gross hands so that i highly appreciate the time and effort she placed in to build this post and recipe conveniently followed.

With that said I am inspired presenting my own recipe in a similar way. Appreciate your the thought.

I was fine tuning the main recipe to make it for the taste of my family. I must say it absolutely was a terrific success. They prized the flavour, the consistency and loved having a treat such as this in the middle of a busy week. They quite simply demanded even more, a lot more. So the next occasion I am not going to make the same miscalculation. I’m likely to twin the quantity .

This chocolate orange cake recipe was first published on Suncakemom.

Base:

Preheat oven to 350°F / 180°C.

Separate egg whites from the yolks one by one. Put them in two different medium sized bowls to beat them.

Measure flour. Put the unsweetened cocoa powder and the baking powder into the same measuring bowl and mix dry ingredients well.

Beat the egg whites on high speed until hard peaks form. At this stage, the tips of the egg whites will curl when the beaters are lifted. Peaks have to be stiff.

Beat yolk and sweetener of choice until it becomes light yellow.

Add dry ingredients bit by bit alternating it with the orange juice.

Fold the egg whites into flour yolk mixture. Use a wooden spoon or a spatula to cut vertically through the mixture. Move it around the bottom of the bowl bring it back up. Carrying some of the mixture from the bottom up to the surface.

Repeat it smoothly until ingredients are evenly combined.

Line a cake tray by using baking sheets or cover it with some butter and flour.

Spread the batter evenly into the prepared tray and put it into the 350°F / 180°C preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until the toothpick comes out clean.

Filling:

Get the oranges and wash them well.

Dice them up and put the pieces into a pot to cook.

Pour water into the pot as well.

Put saucepan in the cooktop and bring it to boil.

Turn heat to low then cook oranges for half to one hour with the lid on.

Take it of the heat and let it cool down then puree it with a blender.

Continue with the other part of the cream: pour the milk and heavy cream in a pot on medium heat warm it up until it starts to bubble. Mind to stir it fairly often to avoid burning down.

Whilst the milk-cream reaching the boiling temperature; separate eggs and put away the whites for Floating islands or freeze it.

In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks for about a minute until light yellow and increased in volume.

Whisk in the cornstarch, vanilla extract, agave syrup and gradually about ½ cup of the hot milk-cream. The goal is to raise the temperature of the yolks so it won’t get curdled when added into the hot mixture.

Slowly pour all of the egg yolk mixture into the scalding milk-cream while stirring vigorously until the mixture seems completely liquified.

Keep warm and continuously stir until the custard thickens.

Mix it with the orange puree evenly.

Chocolate glaze:

Melt the chocolate, cocoa and the piece of butter.

Pour heavy cream into the saucepan with the chocolate bits.

Stir occasionally until melted chocolate is completely incorporated with the butter and whipped cream.

If cake base cooled down, cut it into four equal parts horizontally. Check out the cheap cake slicers in our Kitchen Bazaar at the Reviews. Pro tip: Use the top of the cake for Domino cake.

Divide the orange cream into three parts.

Spread the first part on the bottom layer of the cake then put the second layer on top.

Spread the second part of the cream on the second layer and the third layer on top.

Finish the same with the third part of the cream and the top layer of the cake.

Pour chocolate icing on top of the cake.

Decorate it with candied orange peel or just a simply fry the orange peels in oil for 5-10 minutes until get a slightly brownish color.

Put cake in the fridge for a couple of hours before cutting it up and serving it.
