🟠 First Layer (Chocolate Cake) 🟠

This layer serves as the base of the cake, providing a rich and moist chocolate flavor.

✅ Ingredients:

1 egg
4 tbsp sugar (for sweetness and structure)
A pinch of salt (to enhance flavors)
1 packet unsweetened cocoa powder (for deep chocolate taste)
5 tbsp vegetable oil (to keep the cake moist)
5 tbsp milk (adds softness)
1 tsp vinegar (helps activate the baking powder)
4 heaping tbsp all-purpose flour (the main structure of the cake)
1 tbsp cocoa powder (enhances the chocolate flavor)
1 packet baking powder (for a light and airy texture)

✅ Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a small cake pan.
In a bowl, whisk the egg, sugar, and a pinch of salt until the mixture becomes slightly frothy.
Add the oil, milk, and vinegar, then mix well.
Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder, and gently fold the ingredients until you get a smooth batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.

🟠 Soaking the Cake 🟠

To keep the chocolate cake soft and moist, soak it lightly with cold milk once it has cooled down. Simply pour a few tablespoons over the surface and let it absorb before adding the next layer.

🟠 Second Layer (Chantilly Cream with Orange Zest) 🟠

This layer adds a creamy and airy texture, with a hint of fresh orange zest that complements the chocolate base beautifully.

✅ Ingredients:

1 pack Chantilly cream powder
1 cup cold milk
Zest of one fresh orange (for a natural citrusy aroma)

✅ Instructions:

In a mixing bowl, beat the Chantilly cream powder with the cold milk using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold in the orange zest for a burst of flavor.
Spread the cream evenly over the cooled and soaked chocolate cake.
Place the cake in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow the cream layer to set.

🟠 Third Layer (Orange Glaze) 🟠

This final layer gives the cake a beautiful mirror-like finish, with a natural citrus taste that enhances the overall dessert.

✅ Ingredients:

2 tbsp cornstarch (or pastry cream powder, for thickening)
2 tbsp sugar (adjust based on the sweetness of your orange juice)
2 cups fresh orange juice (preferably squeezed from fresh oranges)

✅ Instructions:

In a small saucepan, whisk together the orange juice, sugar, and cornstarch until fully dissolved.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir continuously until the mixture thickens into a smooth glaze.
Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before pouring it over the chilled Chantilly layer.
Spread the glaze evenly and refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour until it sets completely.

🟠 Serving and Enjoying 🟠

Once the cake is fully set, slice and serve chilled. The combination of soft chocolate cake, creamy orange-flavored Chantilly, and glossy orange glaze makes this dessert incredibly refreshing and delicious. Pair it with a cup of tea or coffee for an extra treat!

This Mirror Cake is perfect for family gatherings, special occasions, or simply as an indulgent treat for yourself. Try it and enjoy the delightful contrast of flavors and textures! 😋
