Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 cups granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 0.75 cups unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 zest orange
  • 0.5 cups fresh orange juice

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x5-inch loaf pan by greasing it and dusting it with flour.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together.
  • In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar mixture until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the eggs and vanilla to the creamed mixture and beat until well combined.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, along with the milk, orange zest, and orange juice. Mix until just combined.
  • Divide the batter into two bowls. Stir cocoa powder into one bowl to create the chocolate batter.
  • Spoon alternating dollops of the orange and chocolate batters into the prepared loaf pan and swirl gently with a knife.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
  • Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
