Directions

For the Cake

Preheat your oven to 180C/160C Fan, and line your 2lb loaf tin with parchment paper!

Beat together your butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Add in your self raising flour, cocoa powder, eggs and orange zest and beat again until smooth and lovely!

Fold through the chopped Terry's chocolate orange!

Pour the mix into the tin, and bake the cake in the oven for 55-65 minutes!

Leave the cake to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, and then turn onto a wire rack to cool fully!

For the Buttercream

Melt your Terry's chocolate orange until smooth, and leave to cool.

Beat your butter in a mixer for a few minutes so it's really smooth.

Add in your icing sugar and beat again until smooth!

Add in the melted Terry's chocolate orange and beat again.

It'll be really lovely and smooth and delicious once finished!

For the Decoration

Ready your piping bag and nozzle, and pipe your buttercream onto your cake however you fancy! I used a medium leaf tip to get the effect on my cake!

I then melted some Terry's chocolate orange and drizzled it over, added on some alternate milk and dark Terry's chocolate orange segments, and added on some beautiful large bronze, ruby and gold sprinkles and some of the smaller version of the bronze, ruby and gold sprinkles!
