Steps:
- Grease 3 x 7″ round sandwich tins (or 2 x 8″).
- Preheat the oven to 180C.
- Cream your room temperature butter with your sugar until it's pale, light and fluffy.
- Next, mix in the eggs, one at a time, beating really well after each egg. Don't worry if it starts to look a bit curdled, it'll all come good.
- After this, mix in your flour and cocoa. If you've been using a mixer, do this bit by hand. It helps to keep the sponge light.
- Stir in the melted and slightly cooled chocolate and the orange extract.
- Spoon into a your tins, smooth out with the back of a spoon. Make a bit of a dip in the middle to account for rising.
- Bake for about 30 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean. You might need to adjust the time by 5 minutes either way depending on your oven.
- Meanwhile make your icing. Beat your butter until it's pale, light and fluffy.
- Beat in your icing sugar and orange extract.
- Now split your icing into two bowls, weigh out 675g into one and there should be about 225g left in the other.
- Add 150g melted and cooled dark chocolate to the 675g bowl of buttercream. Mix in completely.
- Colour the other bowl of 225g of buttercream orange using Sugarflair Tangerine Gel Colour. Use a very very small amount at a time, just a tip of a knife or so, until you get the colour you fancy.
- If either batch of buttercream is too stiff, beat in a teaspoon or two of boiling water to soften and lighten the texture of the icing.
- When your cakes are completely cold, use a carving knife to level them. Just trim the top crust off. Remember, this is important, it's not a waste of cake. If you don't do this, with a cake this size it will be wonky.
- Top each layer with a spread of your chocolate buttercream. Then snip the top off of two disposable piping bags, fill one with the rest of your chocolate buttercream and the other with the orange buttercream.
- Pipe a circle around the outside of two of the layers, sit each on the one before.
- On the top layer, pipe small dollops all over and top with your segments of chocolate orange.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF (180ºC). Grease three 8-inch (20 cm) round cake pans and line the bottom of each pan with parchment paper. Dust the sides of the pans with flour, tapping out any excess.
- Sift the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt into a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add the orange zest and stir in.
- Whisk the hot coffee and milk together and then whisk in the oil, eggs and vanilla. Add this all at once to the flour mixture and blend on low speed using electric beaters or the mixer until no flour is visible and then increase the speed to medium-high, mixing until smooth and glossy, about 1 minute (the batter will be fluid). Pour the batter into the prepared pans and bake for about 25 minutes, until a tester inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean. Cool the cakes in their pans on a cooling rack for 20 minutes, then turn the cakes out of the pans to cool completely on the rack.
- To assemble the cake, peel away the parchment from the first cake layer and place it on a cake plate. Spread an even layer of Philadelphia Cream Cheese Whipped Frosting to cover the top of the cake and set the next cake layer on top. Repeat with the frosting and final cake layer. Spread a generous amount of frosting on top of the cake, pushing the frosting just over the outside edge of the cake - this helps to create precise edges when joining the frosting from the sides to the top. Spread a sheer layer of frosting on the sides of the cake and rotate the cake to smooth it out - if you like the décor of a sheer or "naked cake," you could stop here. For a completely covered cake, spread a second, thicker layer of frosting on the sides and smooth it out, joining the top and sides. To make a precise top edge, use your spatula to pull the frosting on top from the outside edge in towards the centre and rotate the entire circumference of the cake. For the final décor touch, use the tip of your spatula as you run it around the cake, starting at the bottom and working your way to create a lovely line. Arrange the edible flowers to the top of the cake as you wish and then chill the cake until ready to serve.

CITRUS LAYER CAKE WITH ORANGE AND CHOCOLATE FROSTING
This cake appeared in The Times in 1954 as Halloween Cake, the centerpiece for a children's party. When you strip away the original instructions for decoration (dyed yellow frosting and a black cat of piped chocolate), you're left with a luscious citrus cake that works for any occasion, All Hallows' Eve included.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 375 degrees. Grease two nine-inch round pans, line bottoms with parchment paper and grease the paper. In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and sugar.
- In a separate bowl, cream butter and grated orange and lemon zests. Sift dry ingredients into creamed butter and add about 3/4 cup (177 milliliters) milk. Mix until flour is dampened then beat on low speed for 2 minutes. Add remaining milk and eggs and beat on low for 1 minute more.
- Divide batter between two pans and smooth the top. Bake for 25 minutes or until the cake rebounds to touch when pressed.
- Cool cake in pans on cooling rack for 10 minutes, and then remove from pan. Discard parchment paper and turn cakes right side up on racks. Let cool to room temperature.
- Meanwhile, make the frosting: Cream butter and gradually add about a third of the confectioners sugar, blending well after each addition. Add pasteurized egg, then remaining sugar and milk, using enough liquid to give a good spreading consistency. Add orange extract and salt and blend thoroughly.
- Remove 1/2 cup of frosting to a small bowl and stir in melted chocolate. Cover with a damp cloth or paper towel and save for decorating cake. Place one round on cake plate and spread with orange frosting. Sprinkle with chopped chocolate or candy corn, if using. Top with second cake layer. Frost sides from top edge down over the sides. Spread remaining orange frosting on top and spread to edge. Pipe chocolate frosting. Let stand till frosting is dry.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Butter two 20cm round sandwich tins and line the bases with baking parchment. Tip the sugar into a mixing bowl and add the softened butter and orange zest. Beat for 1 min or so until pale and fluffy, then beat in the egg yolks. Sift the flour and baking powder over the cake mixture and fold in lightly. Finally, fold in the almonds and orange juice. Whisk the egg whites until they just hold their shape. Fold one-third of the egg white into the cake mix, using the whisk. Repeat with another third, then the final third. Take care not to over-mix or you will lose the lightness of the egg whites.
- Divide the cake mix between the prepared tins and bake for 30-35 mins. Cool in the tin for 5 mins, then turn out onto a wire rack, peel off the lining paper and leave to cool.
- To make the icing, melt the chocolate over a pan of barely simmering water or in the microwave on High for 1½ mins, stirring every 30 secs, then leave to cool. Whip the crème fraîche until thick, then fold in the white chocolate. Set one cake on a serving plate or cake stand. Spoon half the icing onto the cake and top with the other cake. Spread with the rest of the icing, then allow to set in the fridge for at least 1 hr.
- If you want to make the decorative curls, melt the chocolate in a bowl over simmering water or in a microwave and spread thinly over a baking tray. Leave the tray in the fridge for the chocolate to harden a bit, then use a cake slice or angled knife blade to scrape chocolate curls. Pile the curls in the middle of the cake and serve cut into slices.
