The combination of cocoa powder and melted dark chocolate gives this cake a particularly rich flavor. You can make it up to 3 days ahead. Store it at room temperature, well wrapped in foil.

1 1/2 tablespoons/11 grams cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon/4 grams kosher salt
4 1/2 tablespoons/64 grams cold unsalted butter, cubed
1/3 cup/60 grams semisweet chocolate chips
3 ounces/85 grams extra-bittersweet chocolate (70 percent), chopped
1 1/3 cups/185 grams all-purpose flour
3/4 cup/89 grams Dutch-process unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon/2 grams baking powder
1/4 teaspoon/2 grams baking soda

  • Prepare the cake: In a large bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and baking soda.

  • Scrape batter into prepared pan and top with remaining streusel. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of cake emerges clean, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack and cool completely before turning out and slicing.

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for the pan
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup unsalted roasted peanuts
2 teaspoons grated orange zest
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
