Chocolate Cake With Orange Filling And Chocolate Glaze

• Chocolate Cake
• 1 cup milk
• 3/4 cup cocoa
• 1/3 cup white sugar
• 2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 1 cup dark brown sugar
• 3 eggs at room temperature
• 1/4 cup sour cream or creme fraiche
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups sifted cake flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• Orange Filling
• 1 1/3 cups orange marmalade
• 1-2 tablespoons grand marnier or other orange liqueur

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. Heat the milk in a small pan until bubbles begin to appear around the edges. Remove from the heat. Mix the cocoa and white sugar together in a small bowl and slowly beat in the warm milk. Let cool.
3. Cream the butter with the brown sugar. Beat in the eggs, sour cream, and vanilla. Add the cocoa mixture. Mix the remaining dry ingredients together and gently blend into the butter mixture. Do not overbeat.
4. Turn the batter into the prepared cake pans. Bake 25 to 30 minutes, or until the cake shrinks slightly from the sides of the pans and springs back when touched gently in the center. Cool on a rack for a few minutes, then turn out of the pans onto the rack. Let cool completely before filling and glazing.
5. Lay one cake layer on a serving plate. Top with the orange filling and then the second layer.
6. Melt 6 ounces of bittersweet chocolate with 2 teaspoons of tasteless vegetable oil and pour over cake. Pour the warm chocolate glaze over the cake, spreading with a metal spatula.
7. Stir the liqueur into the marmalade until the desired consistency is reached.
