David's Chocolate Orange Cake
Great British Baking Show ™ - Judging
Voice-over: "31 year old entrepreneur David Chambers lives near Milton Keynes with his girlfriend Ellie. He takes all of his hobbies extremely seriously, especially his baking."
David made a two-tier chocolate sponge cake, filled with orange buttercream and iced with orange frosting.
Paul Hollywood: "That is really rather too bright."
Paul Hollywood: "Reminds me of the sort of 60s Fanny Craddock cakes."
David: "I think once you get a slice out of it and then you look at it, you're going to see that the browns and the oranges have some layers in there now. I think that now takes a lot of the orange sort of out of it and it's balancing a lot better."
PThe cake is dry.

About The Great British Baking Show ™
The Great British Bake Off ™ (often abbreviated to Bake Off or GBBO and referred to in the United States as The Great British Baking Show ™) is a streamed British baking competition, in which a group of amateur bakers compete against each other in a series of rounds, hoping to impress the judges with their baking skills. One contestant in The Great British Baking Show ™ is eliminated in each round, and the winner is selected from the three contestants who reach the final.
The Great British Baking Show ™ operates on a weekly elimination process to find the best all-around baker from the contestants, who are all amateurs. In each episode, the bakers are given three challenges based on that week's theme: a signature bake, a technical challenge, and a show-stopper. The bakes are assessed by the judges who then choose a "Star Baker" for the week, and a contestant is also eliminated. In the final round, three bakers are left and a winner is chosen from the three.
