Indulgent hazelnut orange cream enveloping rich chocolate with a tangy citrus twist.
Ingredients:
  • 250ml (1 cup) fresh orange juice
  • 55g (1/4 cup) caster sugar
  • 20.00 ml orange-flavoured liqueur (such as Cointreau), optional
  • 1 x 450g pkt bought Madeira cake
  • 80g (1/4 cup) chocolate hazelnut spread
  • 145g (1 cup) dry roasted hazelnuts, coarsely chopped
  • 1 x 300ml ctn thickened cream
  • 24.00 gm icing sugar mixture
  • 1 tsp finely grated orange rind
Instructions:
  • Combine orange juice and sugar in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir for 5 minutes until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to medium and simmer for 10 minutes until reduced to about 160ml (2/3 cup). Optional: Stir in liqueur, if desired, and let cool.
  • Make the orange cream by using an electric beater to whip the cream, icing sugar, and orange zest in a bowl until soft peaks form.
  • Remove the cake crust and discard. Slice the cake into three layers horizontally. Brush the bottom layer with half of the orange syrup, then layer half of the hazelnut spread and a quarter of the orange cream. Place the second cake layer on top, then brush it with the rest of the syrup. Spread the remaining hazelnut spread and a third of the remaining orange cream. Finish with the final cake layer.
  • Place the cake on a serving plate, generously spread the remaining orange cream over it, and gently press the hazelnuts onto the sides. Chill in the fridge for 4 hours or until set. Enjoy immediately.
