Preheat oven to 170 C. Grease a 16cm cake tin with coconut oil, line the bottom with parchment paper and set aside. You can also prepare two even sized pans and split the batter in half later. Combine flour, cornstarch, cocoa powder, a pinch of coffee, baking powder and salt in a mixing bowl.
To a bigger mixing bowl add wet ingredients and sugar and whisk to combine. Add in flour splitting the amount into three batches, whisking until just combined.
Pour the cake batter into prepared pan and bake 40-50, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool completely before slicing into three even layers.
If you split the batter between two pans, bake for 20-25 and divide each cake in half once fully cooled.
Either way, trim off the uneven top section of the cake(s). Prepare the orange curd.
Zest the orange and supreme the flesh.
