Most readers will think this cake is a little tame for me, and in looks I suppose it is. But this little beauty packs it's punch on taste, so much so that there's no need for fancy decorating at all.
The cake is Isa's Just Chocolate Cake recipe doubled up, with buttercream in the middle and then the topping is Chocolate Orange buttercream ganache.
YUMMMMMMM!
The only decorating required was the obligatory 40 candle seeing as my buddy Wayne turns 40 today!

Wow, you're a great friend!
This IS different from your usual fancy pants rolled fondant cake decoration, but it makes me feel right at home. It looks a lot like the cakes I make, and I like it. Bet it tasted 100% delicious.
Hooray for birthday cakes! I bet that chocolate orange icing was deee-licious, such a good flavour combination!
Lucky Wayne! What a great birthday cake. Chocolate orange is pretty awesome in my book. ;)
Hey, happy Birthday! It's mine too. :)
That looks scrumptious! Happy 40th to your buddy Wayne!
Oh, yes! Your friend is so lucky; this cake sounds awesome. Orange buttercream??? Gimme! :-)
Fancy Schmancy! Form should follow function, and the function of cake is to be delicious!
The combo of chocolate cake, buttercream and orange chocolate ganache sounds perfect!
I'd love to get such a fabulous cake for my birthday! (no one ever makes me cake, I always have to make my own!! *sad*).
Your friend Wayne is a lucky chappie indeedy :D
so nice of you to make a cake for your pal! I always end up making my own cake... which is okay, but a homemade cake from a friend seems like the best thing ever!!
This looks amazing.
