===[[Mise en place]]===
* Grease and line the base of a 20cm/8in round cake tin.
* Preheat the [[Oven|oven]] to 180C/350F/Gas 4
===Method===

{{RecipeMethod
| Push a skewer through the [[Orange|orange]] to pierce and [[Boil|boil]] for 30 minutes until soft.
| Pulse the whole [[Orange|orange]] in a [[Food processor|food processor]] until it is in small pieces.
| Allow to cool, remove any pips and process further until it is completely puréed.
| Meanwhile, melt the [[Chocolate|chocolate]] in a heat-proof bowl over a pan of [[Simmering|simmering]] water and allow to cool.
| Meanwhile, in a large bowl, lightly whisk the [[Eggs|eggs]], [[Sugar|sugar]] and [[Oil|oil]].
| Gradually beat in the puréed [[Orange|orange]], and then add the cooled melted [[Chocolate|chocolate]].
| Sift in the [[Cocoa|cocoa]], [[Flour|flour]] and [[Baking powder|baking powder]] into the bowl and mix well
| Pour the mixture into the tin.
| [[Bake]] in the centre of the [[Oven|oven]] for 55 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly pressed in the middle. (Check after 45 minutes and cover with [[Foil|foil]] if it is [[Browning|browning]] too much.)
| Allow to cool for 10 minutes in the tin, then turn out on to a wire rack to cool completely.
| To make the [[ganache]], put the [[Chocolate|chocolate]] into a heat-proof bowl.
| Bring the [[Cream|cream]] to the [[Boil|boil]] and pour over the [[Chocolate|chocolate]].
| Leave for 2 minutes, and then stir until smooth.
| Set aside until firm enough to spread over the cake - up to 1½ hours.
| Using a palette knife, swirl the ganache over the top.
| Decorate with the [[Candied peel|candied peel]].
}}
===Variations===
Use [[Limes|limes]], a [[Lemon|lemon]], or sweet [[Orange|orange]] instead of the [[Seville orange]]. As I love [[almonds]], I mixed in some [[ground almonds]] with the ganache.
