Looking for an easy dessert that will wow a crowd? We have to share the perfect flavor combination you may have been missing: rich chocolate and citrusy orange. This delightfully decadent chocolate-glazed orange bundt cake recipe looks picture-perfect and comes together in one bundt pan. Plus, oranges add a range of nutritional benefits, including high vitamin C content and antioxidant properties.
For the perfect finish, we topped this chocolate-glazed orange bundt cake recipe with chocolate leaves. First, melt ¼ cup of dark cocoa candy melts per package directions. Next, using a small brush, paint a thin coating of the candy over the bottoms of a few bay leaves. Then chill for 15–20 min. Carefully peel off the bay leaves. Finally, place the leaves on the cake and voilà! For more bundt cakes, check out Lemon Mini Bundt Cakes and Chocolate Caramel Bundt Cake. And share your decorating ideas in the comments below.
