How to Make Chocolate Orange Cream Cheese Pound Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 12-cup bundt or tube cake pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy.
  3. Gradually add the sugar, beating until well combined.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  7. Stir in the orange zest and orange juice.
  8. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 60-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 25 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Once completely cool, drizzle with a glaze made from 1 cup powdered sugar and 2-3 tablespoons orange juice, whisked together until smooth.
