How to Make Chocolate Honey Swirl Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Generously grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
  3. **Make the Honey Batter:**
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  5. Add the wet ingredients: ½ cup vegetable oil, ½ cup honey, ½ cup granulated sugar, ½ cup packed brown sugar, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ½ cup cooled brewed tea, and 2 tablespoons orange juice.
  6. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and well combined.
  7. Set aside.
  8. **Make the Chocolate Batter:**
  9. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon salt.

  12. Stir in 1 cup chocolate chips.
  13. Pour the honey batter into the prepared tube pan. Top with the chocolate batter. Swirl the batters together gently with a knife or toothpick for a marbled effect.
