We have another incredible cake that came out of our kitchen for lunch today, for a family celebrating a 60th birthday! Combining orange and chocolate for a beautiful Jaffa-like flavour!

This is an orange scented sponge cake, layered with orange Toblerone chocolate mousse, and an aromatic bitters & Cointreau patissere, finished off with an orange chocolate mirror glaze.
