Marbled Chocolate Orange Bundt Cake

This marbled chocolate orange bundt cake combines both white chocolate and semi-sweet chocolate batters. Both of the batters are flavored with orange zest and orange extract. 

This marbled chocolate orange bundt cake is not too sweet, and the cake stays moist for days. Seriously. The orange flavor is pretty subtle too.

The most difficult part in making this recipe is getting the marbled look. You have to fold the two batters just three times to get the marbling effect without completely blending them. I might actually fold the batters just two times next time.

If you are working on your cake skills, bundt cakes are super forgiving. I have only one standard-sized traditional bundt pan, which if you know me, shows incredible restraint. I've had my eye on the swirly pan forever but I've resisted. Someone hold me back!

How to make a marbled chocolate orange bundt cake:

1. First, you mix the batter for the cake and then divide it in half. 
2. Next, you melt the white and semi-sweet chocolate in separate bowls and the white chocolate to one half, and the semi-sweet chocolate to the other half. 
3. Finally, you combine the two batters and fold them just three times before pouring it into the pan. 

I made this cake ahead and wrapped it in plastic wrap after letting it cool completely. I added the glaze and served the cake next day.

This cake was a huge hit with the "grown ups," but not so much with the kids. The combo of orange and chocolate may be an acquired "adult" taste.

More for us, right?
