Method
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease and line bottom og an 8-inch cake pan with parchment paper.
- For the cake, beat the butter and brown sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Sift the flour, cocoa powder and baking powder into a medium bowl. Beat in flour mixture and the orange peel and juice. Pour into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 40-45 mins until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 mins. Remove from pan; cool completely on wire rack.
- For the icing, place chocolates and cream in a heatproof bowl. Place over a pan of simmering water; stir until melted. Add the butter; stir until smooth. Refrigerate until slightly thickened.
- Place a baking sheet under the wire rack. Pour icing over cake. Spread with spoon so icing flows down sides; excess will drip onto the baking sheet. Let stand until icing is set. Decorate with candied peel.
