Prepare the cake layers by mixing flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.

In another bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk, until fully combined.

Divide the batter into equal portions and bake in preheated oven until a toothpick comes out clean, about 25-30 minutes.

Let the layers cool completely before assembling.

Prepare the filling by melting dark chocolate and mixing it with whipped cream until smooth.

Spread the filling between each layer of cake, stacking them neatly.

Chill the assembled cake in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set.

Prepare the glaze by melting additional dark chocolate and mixing it with a bit of butter until glossy.

Pour the glaze over the top of the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.

Garnish with chopped walnuts and orange zest for added flavor.

Slice and serve chilled.
