Orange Chocolate Mirror Cake

I’ve made this Orange Chocolate Mirror Cake with the intention of celebrating autumn’s beautiful colors with a delicious and elegant dessert. A pecan and candied orange brownie at the bottom, topped with an orange mascarpone mousse and orange jelly and then all covered with a beautiful shiny cocoa mirror glaze for a delightful and impressive look.
