Eggless Orange Chocolate Cake

This Eggless Orange Chocolate Cake is quite a simple recipe to follow, which turns out quite delicious. Chocolate alone is good, but sometimes chocolate tastes even better when it has a partner-in-crime. Orange is a great companion with chocolate in desserts. Lindt’s intense orange is a popular alive proof for this classic orange chocolate pairing. The contrasting nature of orange and chocolate results into an incredible flavour bomb. The luscious, smooth, roaring rich, mouthfeel of chocolate is balanced by the fresh zesty, fruity tones of orange. It is quite a cherished flavour combo.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1/2 cup cocoa Powder https://amzn.to/3f8hXqO
  • 1 and 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3/4th tsp baking powder
  • 1/4th tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup oil
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp white vinegar
  • 1/8th tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp orange zest
  • 1/4th tsp orange flavouring (optional)

  • 4 ounce semisweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate  https://amzn.to/3g6GAFr
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1/4th tsp orange flavouring https://amzn.to/3jORPVx

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven at 180* C and line a 12-inch brownie tray https://amzn.to/3f7lXYr with parchment paper. https://amzn.to/2EouEAZSet it aside.
    In a bowl whisk together cocoa powder and warm water. Making sure that there are no lumps left. Use a whisk to combine it well.
  • In another bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt. Use a dry, clean whisk to combine all the ingredients well.
    Make a well in the centre of these dry ingredients and add the cocoa water mix, oil, orange zest https://amzn.to/3g6GQnT, vanilla extract and orange flavouring. Whisk until smooth.
  • In a small bowl combine the vinegar and baking soda and quickly add it to the batter. Mix using a rubber spatula. Pour the prepared batter in the parchment-lined pan and bake for 25 minutes at 170*C. https://amzn.to/39BNAaQ
    After about 20 minutes of baking time, check with a skewer the doneness. If no wet crumbs stick to the skewer, the cake is baked. Take the cake out and let it cool on a wire rack. 
  • To make Whipped Ganache 
    Heat the cream, in a small saucepan or in the microwave until it's hot and starts to bubble.

    Place chocolate in a medium bowl and pour over the hot cream. Let stand for 5 minutes.

    Add the salt and whisk https://amzn.to/3hHox9b until smooth, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cool and slightly firm, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Add orange flavouring to the chilled ganache and using a mixer whip (or beat) the mixture at medium speed until light, fluffy and forms stiff peaks, about 2 minutes. 
    Once the cake is cooled completely, use a cookie cutter to cut rings from the tray. 
    Pipe the whipped ganache in the layers and on the top. Top it up with candied orange slices and enjoy!
