**I generally like any type of Orange flavoured cake, and there are a few posted on this website. When mixed with chocolate the flavour is just sublime! This is a rich orange cake mixed with dark chocolate to provide a beautiful fudgy cake texture. The orange chocolate ganache just keeps this combination going and provides a soft finish to a dense cake. A strong flavoured orange burst to satisfy your citrus craving. You won’t be disappointed with this cake.**
