Chocolate Orange Layer Cake
Rich chocolate cake layers get a bright lift from orange zest, then stacked with smooth dairy-free chocolate ganache. The crumb is tender and moist without eggs or butter, the ganache silky without cream. A little cardamom in the batter adds warmth that plays beautifully with the citrus. Slice it and you'll see clean, even layers with a glossy coat of ganache that sets just firm enough to hold its shape. It tastes indulgent but builds from pantry staples and plant milk. Perfect for birthdays, dinner parties, or when you want something a little fancy without the fuss.
