Chocolate Orange Cake

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 lately have a little time, I had been looking on the web yesterday. Trying to get fresh, fascinating tips, inspirational meals that We have never used before, to astonish my loved ones with. Hunting for a long time yet could not find too many interesting things. Just before I wanted to give up on it, I found this delicious and easy dessert by accident over Suncakemom. The dessert looked so tempting

on its photos, that called for quick actions.

It was not difficult to imagine the way it is made, its taste and just how much boyfriend will probably love it. Actually, it is extremely simple to delight the guy in terms of cakes. Anyhow, I went to the blog and simply followed the step by step instuctions that had been accompanied by impressive shots of the procedure. It just makes life faster and easier. I could imagine that it’s a slight hassle to take photographs down the middle of baking in the kitchen as you usually have gross hands thus i really appreciate the time and energy she placed in for making this post and recipe conveniently implemented.

Having said that I am empowered presenting my very own dishes similarly. Many thanks for the idea.

I had been tweaking the original mixture to make it for the taste of my loved ones. Need to tell you it was a great outcome. They prized the flavor, the overall look and loved getting a sweet like this in the midst of a hectic workweek. They ultimately asked for more, a lot more. So next time I’m not going to make the same miscalculation. I’m going to double the volume .

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.
