sugar

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey is a natural sweetener with a unique flavor.

Sift together the dry ingredients: caster sugar, all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and baking soda.

Break the eggs into a bowl and whisk them.

Add vanilla essence and melted butter to the eggs and mix.

Add warm water and whisk again until combined.

Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in two parts, being careful not to overmix.

Pour the batter into a lined cake tin that has been greased with butter and dusted with flour.

Bake in a preheated oven at 170°C for about 30 to 35 minutes.

Prepare a ganache by heating cream until scalded, then mixing it with melted chocolate.

Make a sugar syrup using orange juice and sugar, boil until dissolved.

Once the cake is baked and cooled, trim the edges for evenness.

Decorate the cake with the ganache and optionally sprinkle with caster sugar.
