Procedure

Preheat the oven to 160˚C static.

Prepare the pan by greasing it with vegetable spray butter, or using margarine, and then with a layer of flour.

Also place a piece of baking paper on the base of the mold, the same size as the base.

First prepare the orange juice for the dough and the icing.

Then prepare the dough.

In a bowl, mix together the juice and seed oil using a whisk.

Add sugar, salt, the zest of 1 orange and mix.

Add the sifted powders, then flour, starch, and yeast.
Mix with a whisk until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.

Pour into the mold and cook at 160˚C static for 30 minutes and then at 150˚ static for another 20-30 minutes.

Check the cooking with a toothpick, then insert the toothpick into the mixture; if it comes out dry, it means it is cooked.

Then remove the cake from the pan and place it on a plate or tray, place in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours before decorating.

Then prepare the icing.

Bring the juice to the boil and pour it over the chocolate.

Blend with an immersion blender until an emulsion is created and the mixture is shiny and smooth.

Cover with plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for about 2 hours. Before it completely solidifies, while it's still creamy and runny, take it out and pour it over the orange cake.

Push the icing a little towards the edges to let it drip gently, then move the plate a little to let it drip and level the surface.

Garnish with orange zest.

Place in the fridge for 1 hour and then serve the dessert.
