Ingredients Â
- 75 g Baking Spread
- 200 g Greek Yoghurt (Full Fat)
- 300 g Caster Sugar
- 175 g Self-Raising Flour
- 50 g Cocoa Powder (Sieved)
- 3 lrg Eggs

- 3 tbsp Cocoa Powder (Sifted)
- 1 Terry's Chocolate Orange (Separated into segments)

InstructionsÂ
- Preheat the oven to 180°c/160°c Fan/Gas 4. Grease and line the base of two 20cm sandwich tins.
- Add all the cake ingredients to a bowl and whisk until light and fluffy. Divide the mixture evenly between the tins and level the tops.
- Bake for about 26 minutes. Leave to cool in the tins for 10 minutes, then run a knife around the edges to free the sponges. Turn the cakes out and leave to cool on wire racks, then remove the baking paper.
- Add all the butter icing ingredients in a bowl and whiz together until everything is combined and smooth.
- Spread half of the mixture on one cake, taking it evenly to the edges. Sit the other cake on top and make a circle on top of the cake with the icing but not too near the edge. Arrange the chocolate orange segments on top of the buttercream and lightly push down onto the icing so they stay in place. Dust with icing sugar and cut into slices to serve.
Very delicious! Top recipe.
