For a 26cm cake | 8 servings :
Ingredients :
2 oranges
400g water
200g sugar
90g softened butter
120g sugar
The zests of one orange
3 eggs
50g orange juice
100g dark chocolate
170g flour
4g baking powder
65g liquid cream
Recipe :
Bring the water and sugar to a boil. Cut the oranges into half centimeter thick slices.
Put the slices in the syrup and let them cook for 20 minutes at low temperature. Then drain them, blot them with paper towels and let them cool.
Melt the chocolate.
Mix the butter with the sugar and the zests.
Add the eggs one by one, whisking between each addition. Add the orange juice and then the melted chocolate.
Stir in the sifted flour and baking powder, then add the cream.
Butter a 26cm diameter cake tin, and put a circle of greaseproof paper at the bottom of the tin to make it easier to unmould.
Butter the parchment paper, then sprinkle the sugar over the entire surface of the pan. Arrange the orange slices, then cover with the cake batter.
Bake in the preheated oven at 180°C for 30 minutes (a knife should come out dry).
Unmold immediately, then let cool before enjoying!
