June 1st, 2015
Yes, you read right. The headline could be confusing but do not worry, we are just giving out a wonderful new recipe of an amazing orange and chocolate sponge cake. It sounds easy right? Well, it is. And if you are not a fan of baking, then you can order this cake online from any of the reputed seller.
This two layered sponge cake is like heaven in the mouth. It is tasty and is healthy too. The orange extract comes from real oranges, so make sure you buy the fruit from the store. Let’s start creating this nourishing cake:
Items you need:
- 100 grams butter
- 50 grams cocoa powder
- 90 ml boiling water
- three large eggs
- 4 tablespoon milk
- 175 grams flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 300 grams powder sugar
- one grated Orange
For the icing, you need:
- 150 grams chocolate pieces
- 150 ml cream
- 3 tablespoons of apricot jam
- And 100 grams dark chocolate for the decoration.
Here is how you have to bake:
1. The first basic step when you bake is to pre heat your oven. For this sponge cake, pre heat to 180 degrees.
2. Now, take round baking tins and grease them with some butter. If you want, you can use baking paper too.
3. To make the cake, take cocoa and add it in boiling water in a bowl. Make it into a fine paste and add the other ingredients and beat it fast. If you have a food processor, you can use that too. But make sure it isn’t too thin.
4. Divide this mixture into the two greased tins evenly. Now bake it for 20 to 25 minutes in the same temperature. Check if the sponges have become puffy and are coming out from the sides of the baking pans. Now take out the tins from the oven and take out the cakes in a plate and let it cool.
5. Now it is icing time. For the icing and the inside filling, put the chocolates and cream in a container. Let it melt for over 10 minutes on the gas or place this container under hot water. Do not put water in the bowl. Keep stirring it while on flame. Let it cool and become thick so that you can spread it well on the cakes.
6. To finish up the procedure, smudge the apricot jam on top of both sponge cakes. Now put some icing on one cake and the other on top of the second sponge cake. Cover the upper part of the cake with rest of the icing which is leftover. Now scatter some chocolate curls or small pieces on top which we kept aside for decoration. And once this is done, place the cake in the fridge for some time, and it is ready to service and binge on.
This cake can be a great dish for birthdays too. If you are not a baker or hate it, then order birthday cakes online and provide your loved ones with a healthy birthday treat.
