Servings: persons

2 cups heavy cream
12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate finely chopped
1 pinch salt
1/4 cup orange marmalade
chocolate cake Basic, baked and cooled
1 tablespoon orange marmalade
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
flaky sea salt for topping

1
Make the ganache: Heat the heavy cream, chocolate and salt in a double boiler, stirring, until the chocolate is melted and the ganache is smooth. Remove the bowl from the pan and stir in the marmalade. Chill until thick but not set, 1hr-1hr30min.
2
Assemble the cake: Place 1 cake layer on a platter; spread with 1 tbsp marmalade. Beat the chilled ganache with a mixer on medium-low speed until just fluffy, about 1 minute (do not overbeat). Spread heaping 1 cup of the whipped ganache over the marmalade. Top with the second cake layer. Cover the whole cake with remaining whipped ganache and chill until ready to serve.
3
Make the caramel sauce: Bring the sugar and corn syrup to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, swirling the pan, but not stirring, until the mixture turns amber, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and carefully whisk in the heavy cream and butter until smooth. Set aside, stirring occasionally, until cool, but still pourable, 15-20 minutes. Drizzle over the cake and sprinkle with sea salt. Serve within 2 hours; slice with a warm knife.
