Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons orange zest
- 0.5 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons orange juice (for glaze)
- 0.5 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-cup bundt pan, ensuring all crevices are well-coated.
In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the orange zest and vanilla extract.
Gradually mix in the dry ingredients in three additions, alternating with the orange juice and sour cream. Start and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Then, carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and 3 tablespoons of fresh orange juice in a small bowl until smooth. Melt the chocolate chips and drizzle the melted chocolate over the glaze for a decorative touch.
Once the bundt cake is fully cooled, pour the orange glaze evenly over the top and allow it to set for 10-15 minutes before serving.
Slice and enjoy this rich, flavorful Chocolate Orange Bundt Cake with family and friends!
