3. Add the flour, baking powder and bicarb and fold in very gently so as not to knock the air out.
4. Slowly incorporate the cocoa/orange mixture into the batter until well incorporated.

6. Place into the oven and bake for 15-18 minutes. Or until a skewer comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a rack.
7. Next, make the buttercream. Beat together the butter and icing sugar until smooth. Add the crushed cardamom pods seeds, orange juice and orange zest and beat well.
