How to prepare: Chocolate and orange cake
Start preparing the chocolate and orange cake from the butter mousse. Using the electric whisk or the planetary mixer, work the soft butter and sugar until a frothy mixture is obtained. Continuing to work, add one egg at a time, alternating it with a spoonful of flour and the grated orange zest.
Then add the rest of the sifted flour with the baking powder and cocoa. Finally add the milk and work everything until you get a smooth and homogeneous dough.
Pour the mixture into the pan and bake the cake in a preheated oven at 170 ° for 40-50 minutes or in any case until a toothpick stuck in the center of the cake comes out dry. Let the cake cool completely before turning it out. Meanwhile, prepare the glaze: coarsely chop the chocolate and transfer it to a bowl. Bring the cream to the limit of boiling.
Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and mix vigorously with a whisk until you obtain a smooth, silky and homogeneous ganache. Incorporate the whipped cream into the warm ganache, adding it in several stages, with gentle movements from bottom to top. Place the icing in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Turn out the cake on the cake rack and transfer the icing into a pastry bag with a 15 mm star nozzle.
Spread the ganache on the cake, decorate with sprinkles and candied orange peel and serve immediately the chocolate and orange cake.
