Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. Grease and line two 20cm/8in sandwich tins.
Melt the chocolate in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water.
Meanwhile, cream the sugar and butter together in a bowl until light and fluffy. Add the orange zest and juice and the melted chocolate. Slowly beat in the eggs, one at a time, until well combined.
Sift the flour, baking powder and cocoa powder into the mixture and fold until well combined. Divide the cake batter between the two sandwich tins and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until cooked through.
