Indulge in rich chocolate cake with zesty mandarin curd filling.
Ingredients:
  • 535g pkt Rich Chocolate Cake
  • 60g butter, softened
  • 2 Free Range Eggs
  • 125ml thickened cream
  • 125ml thickened cream, extra, whipped
  • 1 mandarin, segmented
  • 1 Free Range Egg
  • 1 Free Range Egg yolk
  • 75g caster sugar
  • 40g unsalted butter
  • 3 mandarins, juiced, zest of 2 mandarins reserved
Instructions:
  • - Preheat the oven to 160C. Grease and line a 6cm-deep, 20cm-round cake tin. Follow the packet instructions to make the cake using butter and eggs, keeping the icing sachet aside. Bake for 1hr – 1hr 5 mins until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Let it cool in the pan for 10 mins, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • In a small saucepan, thoroughly whisk together the egg, egg yolk, and sugar. Stir in the butter, mandarin zest, and mandarin juice over low heat for 5 minutes or until thickened. Once ready, strain the mixture into a heatproof dish, discarding any solids. Allow it to cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Combine the cream and reserved icing sachet in a saucepan over low heat until smooth. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes until thickened. Beat the chocolate ganache with an electric mixer for 2-3 minutes until thick.
  • 1. Using a large serrated knife, slice the cake horizontally into two even layers. 2. Place the bottom cake layer on a cake stand and generously spread with mandarin curd. 3. Add a layer of whipped cream and place the top cake layer over it. 4. Spread the top layer with the chocolate ganache mixture. 5. Decorate the cake with mandarin segments and slice before serving.
