Chocolate Buttercream Cake with Orange Marmalade and Orange Liqueur
Chocolate Buttercream Cake with Orange Marmalade and Orange Liqueur is a divine dessert that harmoniously blends rich chocolate flavors with the zesty brightness of orange.
Ingredients
- For the Base:
- 6 eggs
- 150 g sugar
- 200 g flour
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1/2 packet of baking powder
- For the Buttercream:
- 250 g butter softened
- 400 g powdered sugar
- 50 g cocoa powder
- 100 g orange marmalade
- 50 ml orange liqueur
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a cake pan to ensure your cake comes out perfectly.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Sift the flour, salt, and baking powder together, then gently fold it into the egg mixture until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- While the cake bakes, prepare the buttercream! In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and cocoa powder, mixing until smooth.
- Once combined, mix in the orange marmalade and orange liqueur into the buttercream until evenly incorporated.
- Once the cake is thoroughly cooled, frost it generously with the chocolate buttercream.
- For an extra touch, drizzle more orange marmalade on top or add chocolate shavings for decoration.
- Slice, serve, and enjoy!
