Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 cups freshly squeezed orange juice, plus 2 tablespoons finely grated zest
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
Instructions
- For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Mix together the softened butter and 1 tablespoon of the cocoa to make a thick paste. Use this paste to paint the inside of the Bundt pan. Set aside.
- In an electric mixer, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and remaining 1/2 cup cocoa and mix until blended. Add the orange juice, mayonnaise, vinegar and vanilla and mix until just combined, 1 to 2 minutes. Fold in the orange zest. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the cake comes out clean, 45 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, and then turn out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
- For the chocolate glaze: Mix the confectioners’ sugar and cocoa together. Whisk in the orange juice, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a good consistency to drizzle. Drizzle the glaze over the cake.

Reviews
This cake was just awful with a very strange rubbery texture. Needless to say, I will never make it again.
Best chocolate cake ever! So moist with deep flavor and firm but light texture! Baked in cake pan for 40 minutes! Delicious!
I made this cake for my mom’s birthday, because she loves the Chocolate Oranges available at Christmas
Was a big hit, and I’d make it again!
Was a big hit, and I’d make it again!
They should only be served on April fools
This cake was so bad I couldn’t even give it a star.
Loved!
It came out good but I don’t like cinnamon. But if you do this cake is good
It was so bad, all the food was wasted and my birthday cake was ruined
Easy and eggless but no one could taste the chocolate
If I make it again I’ll double to cocoa and add chocolate chips.
It was super easy to make and delicious! The orange flavor wasnt very strong but that could be because I used store bought OJ instead of fresh squeezed? Either way, it was exactly as she describes in the video!
