Instructions

- Bake the cake for 18 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
- While the cake cools, melt the chopped bittersweet chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water, stirring until smooth.
- In a chilled bowl, whip the cold heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
- Gently fold the melted chocolate into the whipped cream to create the chocolate mousse.
- Once the cake is cool, spread the chocolate mousse evenly over the top.
- Arrange fresh orange slices on top of the mousse for garnish and flavor contrast.
Tips
- Use fresh oranges for the best flavor and juiciness.
