Madagascar orange cake
Madagascar: the cradle of some of the world's most extraordinary flavours. Our Single Origin Chocolate Madagascar is one of them: it has sweet with fruity flavours yet also an intense cocoa taste. This cake balances sweetness (in the compote) with spiciness (in the ganache) and strong cocoa flavours (in the cake and glaze).
