Critical Success Points

  • Remove the saucepan from the heat before adding butter and chocolate to avoid overheating the chocolate.
  • Let the batter rest 15 minutes to achieve a moist texture.
  • Bake at 170 °C for 1 h 15 min, monitor the color and internal doneness.
  • Wrap the warm cake in plastic wrap to retain moisture.
  • 24‑hour maturation to develop orange and chocolate flavors.

Safety Warnings

  • The hot mixture can cause burns; handle the saucepan with kitchen gloves.
  • Melted chocolate is very hot; avoid any skin contact.
