Orange bundt cake with chocolate that is soft, fluffy, and fragrant. Those who have been following me for a while know my passion for Desserts with oranges. Soft, delicious, but above all very fragrant. The only precaution is to choose untreated oranges so you can safely use the grated peel to add to the batter along with the juice. Oranges are a precious source of vitamin C, but also vitamin A, magnesium, potassium, and selenium. 100 grams of orange provide about 55% of the daily requirement of vitamin C, more reason to take advantage of their season and consume them abundantly. The recipe I want to tell you about today is for a super soft and fluffy Orange and chocolate bundt cake. A delicious orange color, an amazing scent, and lots of chocolate chips for a dessert with oranges that is amazing. A dessert that filled my home in an instant with its irresistible aroma, perfect for breakfast, as a snack, or any time of the day. I recommend you also don’t miss the recipe for the Orange cake and the recipe for Soft orange cookies. Let’s hurry to the kitchen and prepare a delicious Orange and chocolate bundt cake together

How to make the Orange and Chocolate Cake
You need untreated oranges for this cake so you can also use the peel. Wash the oranges thoroughly. Grate the peel of one orange and set it aside. Squeeze the oranges to get the juice. You need 1/2 cup of orange juice for this cake.
Beat the 2 whole eggs with the sugar using an electric mixer for 6-7 minutes, until you have a light and frothy mixture. Add the orange juice, orange zest, and melted butter. Mix.
Continue by adding the sifted flour and baking powder. Finally, add the chocolate chips and simply fold them into the batter with a spatula.
Grease a bundt pan, mine is 22 cm in diameter, find the link higher up in the recipe. Pour the batter into the pan and bake the Orange Bundt Cake in the preheated oven at 350°F in static mode for 35-40 minutes.
Always do the toothpick test to check the doneness of the cake inside. Let the Bundt Cake cool before unmolding it onto a serving plate and decorate it as you like with some powdered sugar.

Loredana’s Tips
The Bundt Cake stays soft and fluffy in a container for 2-3 days

Your Questions
Why do the chocolate chips always go to the bottom?
The batter must be dense enough, and after incorporating the chocolate chips well into the batter, the cake must go straight into the oven, so the oven should be preheated in advance
Can I replace butter with oil?
Yes, with 1/4 cup of vegetable oil or light olive oil
