Tip
It's not quite a mud cake but is moist and has a good chocolate flavour. This cake will keep for a few days and is best made the day before you need it. Cuts well into 16 pieces.
For a rich chocolate cake, leave out the orange and add 1 tsp instant coffee with the flour.
This amount of frosting will cover the top and sides of 1 cake. Double the amount of frosting if you want to split the cake and make a layer cake.
The chocolate sprinkles decorating the cake in the photo are a Dutch chocolate sprinkle that are available through delicatessans. They come in milk or dark chocolate varieties and are very useful for decorating cakes.

I made this cake today. It was nice - I think I left it in the oven a bit long, it was a little dry and crumbly. Will monitor it a bit closer next time! The icing is yummy.
