Recipe: Ingredients For the sponge 350 g Butter or baking spread 350 g Caster sugar 6 Eggs large 2 tsp Orange extract 1 tbsp Milk 300 g Self raising flour 50 g Cocoa powder ½ tsp Baking powder For the buttercream 250 g Butter or baking spread 450 g Icing sugar 50 g Cocoa powder 1 ½ tbsp Milk 2 tsp Orange extract For decoration 1 Terry's Chocolate Orange Orange sprinkles optional Instructions 1) Pre-heat your oven to 160C Fan/180C/350F/Gas Mark 4, and grease and line two 8" cake tins. 2) Make the sponge by mixing the butter and caster sugar in a large bowl with a spoon or an electric mixer. 3) Add the eggs, orange extract and milk, and whisk until fully incorporated. 4) Add the self raising flour, cocoa powder and baking powder and whisk in until you can't see any flour anymore. 5) Divide the mixture between the tins. 6) Bake them for 30-35 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean. Leave them to fully cool either in the tins or remove from the tin and place on cooling racks. 7) To make the chocolate buttercream mix the butter, cocoa powder and icing sugar together. Once it starts to come together add the orange extract and milk and mix until smooth. I use my electric hand whisk to do this but you can also do it by hand with a spoon. 8) If the cakes have domed on top, level them off and trim edges. 9) Put one of the sponges on your plate or cake stand and pipe or spread some of the buttercream onto it. 10) Add the other sponge on top and pipe or spread the remaining buttercream on top. 11) Decorate with the Terry's Chocolate Orange pieces, and orange sprinkles. Store in an airtight container in a cool place for 2-3 days Music: Hot n cold- Katy Perry
