How dreary it was in Europe more than five hundred years ago! The inhabitants of the Old World had no idea about the exciting taste of chocolate. But today we can arrange a holiday for ourselves by preparing this delicious chocolate cake.

How to cook Chocolate cake with orange jelly

Step 1

Sift flour together with salt. Butter, cut into pieces, put in flour and chop with a knife. Add egg yolks, sour cream and sugar. Knead a smooth dough, wrap it in cling film and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 200°C. Grease a baking dish with vegetable oil. Roll out the cooled dough into a circle, lay in a mold so that the sides are closed. Place a circle cut out of parchment on the dough and sprinkle with beans. Put in the oven and bake for 25 minutes.

Step 2

Remove the zest from one orange with a fine grater. Squeeze juice from all oranges. Pour it into a saucepan and heat up a little. Put gelatin, stir until completely dissolved. Allow to cool slightly, add the grated zest and liquor.

Step 3

Take the mold out of the oven. Remove beans and parchment. If the dough under the paper remains unbaked, return it to the oven for another 10 minutes. Allow to cool to room temperature. Lubricate the inside of the dough form with protein. Pour in orange jelly and refrigerate to set.

Step 4

Break the chocolate into small pieces, put in a heat-resistant dish, add butter and put on a pot of boiling water. Stirring constantly, cook until all the chocolate has melted and blended with the butter.

Step 5

Without removing the chocolate from the water bath, pour in the cream. Mix thoroughly, remove from heat and cool to room temperature.

Step 6

Pour the chocolate into the cake pan over the orange jelly. Smooth the surface with a spatula and return to the refrigerator for 1 hour.
