In my opinion, the combination of oranges and dark chocolate is so delicious, especially in winter. It's somehow a very chic and sophisticated pairing, which I believe makes it even more suitable for the holiday season. So, today I will share my favorite recipe with you, combining the flavors of oranges and dark chocolate: an orange cake with whipped dark chocolate ganache. The cake dough is a very moist and juicy cake with the juice of a whole fresh orange! Then, we add a rich and creamy dark chocolate ganache, before we decorate the cake with slices of fresh oranges!
