Tips:
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before you begin, especially the butter and eggs, for a smoother batter and more even baking.
- When zesting the orange, avoid the white pith as it can add bitterness to the crème anglaise.
- Use high-quality dark chocolate for a richer, more intense chocolate flavor.
- To prevent overcooking the crème anglaise, use a thermometer to ensure it reaches a safe temperature of around 170°F (77°C) without boiling.
- For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a splash of vanilla extract to the crème anglaise.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before serving to let the flavors meld together. For a cleaner presentation, consider refrigerating the cake briefly before slicing.
