Method

Cake Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two 9-inch round cake pans by greasing and flouring them.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

  3. 3

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, beat the eggs, then add the vegetable oil, espresso, and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

  5. 5

    Bake the Cake

    Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  6. 6

    Cool the Cakes

    Once baked, remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chocolate Sauce Preparation

  1. 7

    Heat the Cream

    In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer.

  2. 8

    Melt the Chocolate

    Remove from heat and add the chocolate chips. Let sit for 5 minutes, then stir until smooth. Add vanilla extract and mix well.

Orange Whip Preparation

  1. 9

    Whip the Cream

    In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.

  2. 10

    Add Sugar and Flavor

    Gradually add powdered sugar, orange zest, and orange juice, and continue beating until stiff peaks form.

Cinnamon Crumble Preparation

  1. 11

    Mix Crumble Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and melted butter. Mix until crumbly.

  2. 12

    Bake Crumble

    Spread the mixture on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown. Let cool.

Assembly

  1. 13

    Layer the Cake

    Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Drizzle with chocolate sauce, add half of the orange whip, and then top with the second layer.

  2. 14

    Finish with Toppings

    Top with remaining chocolate sauce, orange whip, and sprinkle with cinnamon crumble.
