Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter, or as needed
- 2 ¼ cups cake flour
- 1 cup white sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 cup buttermilk, at room temperature
- ¾ cup butter, at room temperature
- 3 eggs, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons orange food coloring powder
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon black food coloring powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®) with 2 tablespoons butter.
- Mix flour, sugar, and baking powder in a large bowl. Beat in buttermilk using an electric mixer. Add 3/4 cup butter and beat until fully incorporated. Mix in eggs and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour 1/3 of the batter into a small bowl; mix in orange food coloring. Add cocoa powder and black food coloring to the large bowl. Mix well, scraping down the sides.
- Pour black batter into the cake pan. Pour orange batter on top. Rap pan against the counter to release any air bubbles.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 50 minutes. Cool for 15 minutes before removing from the pan.

Reviews
I made this just as stated sifting my flour and everything, except I put my orange layer on the bottom because I wanted to drizzle chocolate over the top and it show up better. I gave 4 stars because it wasnt very sweet and it was really dense, especially the chocolate part. I also baked it for less time then called for and it still came out a little dry. But… this sure beats those boxed mixes with aluminum in the baking soda. And this is a beautiful idea for a fall cake. I will definitely make it again..
