Raise your hand if you love chocolate! Chocolate lovers rejoice with these Toblerone cakes. 
I first tried the chocolate bar while I was still studying in college. It was love from first bite… The crunch of the Honey & Almond nougat, and the beautiful milk Swiss chocolate, and the unusual pyramid shape made it much easier for me to fall in love with.
Two days ago,I decided to take our love to another level and make a cake out of Toblerone chocolate. The warmth of the cinnamon in combination of the floral notes of orange and the melted chocolate,is simply irresistible! As usual,I tried to balance the sweetness of the chocolate and luckily,the results were successful.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of chocolate instead of Toblerone?
While Toblerone is recommended for its unique flavor and texture, you can substitute it with any good-quality milk chocolate, but the taste and texture will vary.
What can I substitute for orange zest if I don’t have any?
If you don’t have orange zest, you can substitute it with lemon zest for a different citrus note, or simply omit it for a more straightforward chocolate flavor.
How can I ensure the cinnamon flavor comes through in the cakes?
Make sure to use a fresh, high-quality ground cinnamon and mix it thoroughly into the batter to evenly distribute its flavor.
