Chocolate cake with truffle cream and orange
Chocolate cake with truffle cream and orange is a cake is always a success. I have made this cake several times and most often it was for an occasion such as name day or birthday. It is very tasty, intensely chocolatey and really easy to prepare. The basis of this cake is a chocolate cake, which I make from dark chocolate and cocoa. After baking, I cut the chocolate cake in half, soak it with lemon and orange soaking syrup and cover it with cream.
The cream I use in this cake is made from whipping cream, mascarpone, chocolate and truffle candies. First, I dissolve chocolate and candies in hot cream, cool it down and combine with mascarpone. I add pieces of orange to a part of the cream, and leave the remaining cream plain, as I use that part for decoration. This chocolate cake is perfect for dessert or as a birthday cake, so I wholeheartedly recommend you this recipe for a chocolate cake with truffle cream and orange, and I wish you happy baking.

Chocolate cake preparation.
Put eggs, crystal sugar and a pinch of salt into a bowl. Whisk for about 8 minutes or until the egg mass becomes fluffy. At that point, pour in oil in a slow stream, followed by the melted but cooled chocolate. Then mix in the flour, soda, baking powder and cocoa, all sifted through a sieve. Line a baking tin with baking paper, then pour the cake batter in it. Put the cake batter in an oven preheated to 180 degrees Celsius for about 40 minutes. Let the baked chocolate cake cool down, and when cold, cut it lengthwise.

The chocolate can be dissolved in a water bath or in a microwave.
