This chocolate and orange bundt cake is incredibly fluffy because of the buttermilk. A zebra cake with two colors and flavors that are a perfect match.
Baking this bundt cake with chocolate and orange is not difficult. You'll make a delicious batter in no time, and the oven will do the rest.
You won’t taste the buttermilk, it just makes the cake extra moist. But if you prefer not to use buttermilk, you can replace it with (Greek) yogurt.

Coat the bundt cake pan well with butter and a thin layer of flour.
Make a double boiler by filling a small pot with water and placing a fitting bowl on top. Break the chocolate into pieces into the bowl.
Heat the water, the steam will melt the chocolate. Stir the melted chocolate until it’s smooth, then turn off the heat.
Preheat the oven to 160 degrees Celsius or 320 degrees Fahrenheit.
Beat the butter together with the sugar until it becomes light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, only adding the next egg once the previous one is fully mixed in.
Pour in the buttermilk, then gradually sift the flour and baking powder into the bowl. Stir until you've reached a smooth batter, then divide the batter in half into a second bowl.
Stir the melted chocolate into one half of the batter and the zest of 2 oranges into the other half.
Divide both types of batter into the bundt pan a little at a time to create layers of both colors.
Bake the bundt cake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour. Check with a skewer to see if it’s done. When the skewer comes out clean, the cake is ready.
Carefully open the oven door slightly so that the cake won’t collapse, and leave the cake in the oven for 10 minutes with the door ajar.
Take the cake out of the oven, place it on a rack, and let it cool for about 10 to 15 minutes. Then remove the cake from the pan, and enjoy!
How long can I store cake?
It's better not to store cake in the fridge. You can keep it outside the fridge for up to 4 days, but the fresher the cake, the moister it will be. An older cake tends to get drier over time.
You can also freeze cake if needed. Just wrap it well and store it in the freezer for up to 3 months.
My bundt cake won't come out of the pan, what should I do?
Never let the cake cool completely in the pan, as this will make it harder to remove. If your cake has already cooled completely and you can’t get it out of the pan, try reheating it briefly (for about 5 minutes). The warm cake will expand and should release from the pan.
You can also use a silicone spatula to gently loosen the edges.
