  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan) mark 4. Grease and line  a 20.5cm (8in) round cake tin with baking parchment.

  2. For the cake, melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. When melted and smooth, take bowl off heat and set aside to cool for 15min.

  3. In a freestanding mixer or large bowl using a handheld electric whisk, beat  the butter and sugar until light and fluffy – about 5min. Sift flour and baking  powder into a separate bowl and set aside.

  4. With the motor running, gradually add eggs to the butter mixture (adding a tablespoon from the flour bowl if the mixture looks as if it might curdle). Fold in remaining flour mix, orange zest and juice, grated parsnips and the  melted chocolate.

  5. Scrape cake mixture into the prepared tin, level the surface and bake for  55min or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Leave to  cool for 10min in the tin before removing and cooling completely on a wire rack.

  6. For the decoration, line a large baking sheet with baking parchment. Melt  the white chocolate as before. When smooth, spread the chocolate on to  the lined sheet in two rectangles roughly 35.5cm x 7.5cm (14in x 3in). Chill  for 10min.

  7. Using a large, non-serrated knife, trim the edges of the rectangles to neaten, then cut across them in parallel lines to make small strips about  3cm (11/4in) wide (if too much chocolate sticks to the knife, chill sheet for a further 2min). If you like, trim one end of each strip at an angle, then chill  until completely solid.

  8. When the cake is cool, make the icing. In the freestanding mixer or using a  handheld electric whisk, beat the butter until completely smooth. Sift in the  icing sugar and add orange zest. Starting slowly to avoid a cloud of icing sugar, beat until smooth. Add enough orange juice to get an icing that has a good spreading consistency – about 1tbsp. Set aside.

  9. To assemble, split cake in half horizontally and spread just under half the  filling over the top of the base. Top with the second half of the cake, then  spread most of the rest of the filling over the top in a neat, even layer.

  10. Use remaining filling to spread a scant covering over the side of the cake  (to act as glue). Stick chocolate shards on to the side, overlapping slightly. Serve cake in slices.
