Method
Start this recipe by lining a 22cm spring bottom cake tin with non-stick paper. Place a thin layer of chocolate sponge at the bottom of the tin and cover with a layer of marmalade. Next, prepare the fillings. For the dark chocolate filling, whip the cream with the icing sugar to soft peaks. Next, combine the gelatine powder and brandy in a small saucepan and heat till the gelatin has dissolved. Stir in the cocoa powder and orange zest and keep warm. Fold in 1/3 of the whipped cream into the melted chocolate, then fold in the remaining whipped cream. Finally but quickly, fold in the melted gelatin mixture into the cream until you obtain a smooth mousse. Pour the mousse over the marmalade in the tin and smooth out evenly with a palette knife. Place in the fridge to set while you prepare the remaining 2 layers. Prepare the milk chocolate and white chocolate layers in exactly the same way, but dissolve the gelatine in the hot water instead. Return cake to refrigerator and chill until set for at least 2½ hours. To serve, remove the cake from the tin and decorate with chocolate pagets or chocolate straws.
