Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F.

* Step 2

Using vegetable shortening or cooking spray, grease two 9" round cake pans, then place a circle of parchment to line the bottom of each.

* Step 3

Whisk together vegetable oil, eggs, orange juice, orange zest, milk, hot coffee, and vanilla.

* Step 4

In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

* Step 5

Slowly add dry ingredients to wet and mix just until all ingredients are combined (but in order to keep the cake light and fluffy, don't overmix).

* Step 6

Divide batter equally between two greased and lined cake pans.

* Step 7

Bake on middle rack for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

* Step 8

Let cool a few minutes, then turn out onto a plate, remove the parchment from the bottom of each cake, and flip right side up onto cooling racks to cool completely.

* Step 9

While the cakes are cooling, make the chocolate orange buttercream frosting.

* Step 10

Break the chocolate bar into small pieces and add to a microwave-safe bowl, along with the heavy cream.

* Step 11

Microwave for 30 seconds, then stir. Then microwave in 15-second increments, stirring after each one, until smooth. This should take about 1-½ to 2 minutes total.

* Step 12

Once the chocolate and cream are melted together, let it cool on the counter for a few minutes while you start the frosting mixture.

* Step 13

Whisk softened, room temperature butter until smooth (scraping down sides of bowl as necessary).

* Step 14

Add powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, blending until smooth between each one.

* Step 15

Next, add the orange juice, vanilla extract, cocoa powder, salt, and orange zest, and mix well.

* Step 16

Finally, add the melted chocolate and mix one more time until the frosting is smooth and fluffy.
