The orange bundt cake with chocolate chips is a cake I love! The first oranges are starting to appear, one of my favorite fruits that I love to use for baking, paired with chocolate they are the best, so I wanted to make a soft bundt cake, fragrant and without butter, with lots of orange juice and lots of chocolate chips that don’t sink during baking (like our beloved chocolate chip bundt cake), without using any special tricks, just the perfect batter. The orange bundt cake with chocolate chips is very soft, it is prepared in a few minutes and is perfect for breakfast, snack or dessert, it will surely be one of the cakes you will make most often, at my house it’s a must!
