This cake turned out to be very moist and tender.  It’s packed with decadent dark chocolate flavor and refreshing orange zest.  Dark chocolate and orange flavors are simply the perfect classic combination, in my humble opinion.  I made a chocolate crust on top for a contrast of texture as well.  Each bite, is simply heavenly!  If you’re still looking for a dessert recipe to end your Valentine’s Day dinner with the perfect sweet note, this is THE recipe to make!

Chocolate Orange Bundt Cake
Makes: One 10-inch Bundt Cake


Ingredients for the Bundt Cake:
Nonstick cooking spray to grease the pan
3/4 cup whole milk
1/3 cup orange marmalade (see link below for homemade recipe)
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) salted butter, melted
1/4 cup orange liqueur, such as Grand Marnier
3 large eggs
One 15.25-ounce box devil's food cake mix
Zest of 1 large organic orange, divided*

Ingredients for the Chocolate Glaze/Crust:
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon butter
*Remaining Orange zest and gold leaf for garnish


To Prepare the Bundt Cake:
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Spray a 10-inch Bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray.

In the bowl of the stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or, use a large mixing bowl with a handheld electric mixer), whisk the milk, orange marmalade, melted butter, liqueur, eggs, and ½ of the orange zest for 1 minute. Then, add the cake mix and beat on medium speed for another 1 minute. Scrape the sides of the bowl to make sure all ingredients are well incorporated. Beat for a final 10 seconds.

Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick or cake tester comes out clean when inserted into the cake. Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Remove the cake from the pan and transfer onto a cake board and let cool on a wire rack completely.

To Prepare the Chocolate Glaze:
Place the chocolate chips and butter in a microwave safe bowl. Heat in the microwave at 20 seconds intervals until the chocolate chips are just melted. Stir the mixture in between each heating.


When the cake is completely cooled, drizzle the chocolate glaze on top and let some of the glaze drip down the sides. Garnish with the remaining orange zest and gold leaf on top (optional). The chocolate glaze is still soft and you can serve it as is. Or chill the cake in the refrigerator for 1 hour to harden the chocolate crust before serving. Enjoy!
