Instructions:

2. Prepare the Orange Puree:
- Once cooled, cut the oranges into quarters and remove any seeds.
- Puree the oranges (with the skins) in a blender until smooth.
4. Mix Wet Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the orange puree, sugar, buttermilk, eggs, and olive oil until well combined.
5. Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and baking soda.
6. Combine and Mix:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
7. Bake the Cake:
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:

- Ensure the oranges are at room temperature for easier juicing and zesting.

- Use fresh buttermilk for the best texture in your cake.

- Don’t overmix the batter once you combine the dry and wet ingredients, to keep the cake light and fluffy.

- Allow the cake to cool completely before adding the ganache to avoid melting.

- Incorporate the dark chocolate slowly into the cream to ensure a smooth and glossy ganache.

Indulge in the ultimate blend of fresh citrus and luxurious chocolate with this Orange Cake topped with a tangy Orange Compote and silky Ganache. This dessert effortlessly combines diverse textures and flavors, making it an irresistible treat for anyone who tries it.
