Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch round cake pan with vegetable oil or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to combine.

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to over mix.

Fold in the orange zest, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 8
Remove from oven and allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
