Ingredients For The cake:

• 175g (6oz) Kerrygold butter
• 175g (6oz) caster sugar
• 3 eggs
• 225g (8oz) plain flour
• 1½ tsp baking powder
• 15g (½ oz) cocoa powder
• 50g (2oz) dark chocolate chips
• finely grated zest of 1 orange

Ingredients For The Topping:

• 110g (4oz) dark chocolate
• 2 tbsp Grand Marnier or Cointreau
• 110g (4oz) Kerrygold butter
• fine shreds of orange zest, to decorate

Triple Chocolate Orange Cake Method:

Triple Chocolate Orange Cake By Bill King:

1. Firstly, preheat the oven to 180°C/fan oven 160°C/Gas Mark 4. Line a 20cm (8 inch) round cake tin with baking paper.
2. Beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Gradually add the eggs, beating well between each addition. 
3. Sift together the flour, baking powder and cocoa powder, then fold into the mixture with the chocolate chips and orange zest.
4. Spoon into the prepared tin and level the surface. Bake for 50- 55 minutes or until a fine skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean.
5. Cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

For The Topping:

1. Melt the chocolate and Grand Marnier or Cointreau in a heatproof bowl positioned over a saucepan of gently simmering water. 
2. When fully melted, add the Kerrygold butter a little at a time, stirring to combine. 
3. Allow to cool and thicken, then spread over the cake using a palette knife and sprinkle with fine shreds of orange zest.
4. Last but not least, enjoy!

The Cook’s Tip: If you’re not keen on adding alcohol to the topping, simply leave it out, or add 2 tbsp double cream instead.

For a festive twist, decorate your chocolate orange cake with candied orange slices and chocolate curls.
