Ganache Cake with Orange Jam

Sooo, I discovered an amazing cake, easy to make on this website: http://www.edithskitchen.ro/tort-ganache-cu-jeleu-de-zmeura/. I didn't have all the ingredients so I improvised a little, and the result was absolutely delicious ;)

Cake: 3 eggs, 50 ml of oil, 3 tablespoon sugar, 1 tablespoon cocoa, 2 tablespoons flour, 1/2 package baking powder
Ganache: 500 ml cream, 350 g of chocolate
Orange jam or any jam of your choosing, cream for decoration 

For the cake: Mix the yolks with sugar for about 1 minute, add oil, little by little and mix to homogenise. Add the flour mixed with cocoa and baking powder. Incorporate the whipped egg whites. Pour batter into the pan coated with parchment paper and bake for about 25 minutes. Leave it to cool.
For the ganache: Melt the chocolate in the heated cream, add some liquor and let it cool overnight in the fridge. Beat the ganache with mixer until you get a compact cream. 
Pour some jam over the cake, then add the ganache and serve it with a dollop of cream.
