Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 4 pieces large eggs
• 2 tablespoons orange zest
• 0.5 cups fresh orange juice
• 0.5 cups whole milk
• 0.25 cups cocoa powder
• 3 tablespoons hot water
• 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
• 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice (for glaze)
• 1 teaspoon orange zest (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch bundt pan or two 8-inch round cake pans.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes).

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the orange zest and fresh orange juice.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk the cocoa powder with the hot water until smooth.

Step 7

Divide the cake batter into two parts. Stir the cocoa mixture into one part to create the chocolate batter.

Step 8

In the prepared cake pan(s), add alternating spoonfuls of orange and chocolate batter. Use a butter knife to gently swirl the batters together for a marbled effect. Do not overmix.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

To make the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, fresh orange juice, and orange zest in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 12

Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake and let it set for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Step 13

Slice and enjoy your Chocolate Orange Swirl Cake with Yummy Orange Glaze!
