How to Make Chocolate Orange Swirl Cake With Yummy Orange Glaze

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Add the eggs, oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the orange juice and boiling water. Add this mixture to the batter and mix until smooth.
  5. Divide the batter in half. In one half, stir in the melted chocolate chips.
  6. Spoon alternating dollops of the chocolate and plain batter into the prepared pan. Swirl gently with a knife or toothpick for a marble effect.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.
  9. For the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, orange juice (or triple sec), and orange zest until smooth. Add more orange juice if needed to reach desired consistency.
  10. Pour the glaze over the cooled cake and let it set before slicing and serving.
