Ingredients

1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

1 ¾ cups granulated sugar

¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

2 teaspoons baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

1 cup buttermilk

½ cup vegetable oil

2 large eggs

2 tablespoons fresh orange zest

½ cup fresh orange juice

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 cup boiling water

1 cup dark chocolate or semi-sweet chips

½ cup heavy cream


Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a Bundt pan with butter or non-stick spray, dust with flour or cocoa powder.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk buttermilk, oil, eggs, orange zest, orange juice, and vanilla until well combined.

4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix just until combined.

5. Stir in the boiling water carefully until the batter is smooth. Batter will be thin.

6. Pour into the prepared Bundt pan and bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

7. Cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.

8. To make the glaze, combine chocolate chips and heavy cream in a heatproof bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.

9. Let glaze cool slightly, then drizzle over the cooled cake.

10. Serve at room temperature and enjoy.

Notes

This batter will be very thin — that’s what gives the cake its ultra-moist texture.

Use fresh orange juice and zest for a truly vibrant citrus flavor.

Don’t overmix the batter after adding the boiling water.
