This looks way more difficult that it is. In fact it is so easy, you will be whipping it up again in no time. Chocolate and orange. A flavour match.

Orange Chocolate Pancake Layer Cake. It's a mouthful. (You can thank me later!) Titles can be tricky. I could have gone with Jaffa Cake, but then that doesn’t work globally. (Am I right Kazakhstan?) This is a very easy way to achieve quite a spectacular cake. Please post images all over social media of your achievements, and don’t forget to hashtag me #cookingwithtenina so I can get Jaffa Cake envy...or whatever.

This is super simple to achieve. No baking involved. Just a steady pour with the batter. Anyone can do it! Go with rustic. Merry Christmas to everyone who is lucky enough to get a slice!
