INGREDIENTS

• 1/4 cup butter
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup evaporated milk
• orange zest
• 2 tablespoons orange juice
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 cup whipping cream
• 3 tablespoons orange juice
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

INSTRUCTIONS : 

1. Combine butter, sugar, evaporated milk, orange zest, and juice in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat until sugar is dissolved.
2. In a bowl, lightly beat egg and vanilla. Add butter-sugar mixture. Whisk together until combined.
3. Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and baking powder. Gradually add dry ingredients to milk-egg mixture.
4. Pour cake batter into a 5-inch cake pan and cover with foil. Place a wire rack inside a large pot. Pour in enough water to create steam. Place cake pan on top of the rack and cover the pot with a lid. Steam over medium heat for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean. Set aside to cool.
5. Meanwhile, make the ganache: Combine cream, orange zest, and orange juice in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat until warmed. Pour hot cream over chocolate chips and stir until chocolate has melted.
6. Place chocolate cake on a wire rack. Pour ganache over cake, making sure to glaze all sides. Let stand at room temperature to set.
