Ingredients

Scale

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
4 large eggs
1 cup buttermilk
Zest of 1 large orange (about 1 tbsp)
2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
3 tbsp fresh orange juice

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a bundt pan.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Incorporate buttermilk and orange zest.
Gradually combine dry ingredients with wet ingredients using a spatula until just mixed; avoid overmixing.
Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for about 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Allow cooling in the pan for about ten minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the glaze, mix powdered sugar with fresh orange juice until smooth and drizzle over the cooled cake.
