How to Make Grand Marnier Pound Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch fluted tube pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 4 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Stir in ½ cup Grand Marnier and the zest of 1 large orange.
- Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Fold in 1 cup chocolate mini chips.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. The cake should also start to pull away from the sides of the pan.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze: In a small saucepan, combine ½ cup orange juice, ¼ cup Grand Marnier, and ¼ cup granulated sugar.
- Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves and the glaze slightly thickens (about 5 minutes).
- Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle the glaze evenly over the top.
