Instructions

For the cake: (yields 5 cups batter)

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and prepare an 8-cup Bundt pan with oil and dusting of flour.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine FLOUR, BAKING POWDER, and SALT. Set aside.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, blend EGGS and SUGAR on low speed until well-combined.
  • Add ORANGE JUICE, EVOO, ORANGE ZEST, and ALMOND EXTRACT, and blend on low speed just until combined.
  • Add half of dry flour mixture to wet ingredients and blend on low speed to incorporate. Add remaining dry mixture and blend just until combined (do not over mix).
  • Pour batter into prepared pan and bake 25 minutes.
  • Remove cake from oven and toothpick test for doneness (bake another 5 minutes, if needed). When cake is done, place on a cooling rack until cake is cool to the touch. Gently turn out onto a cooling rack and allow to cool completely.
  • Transfer cake to a cooling rack for 10 minutes. Gently turn cake onto a cooling rack and allow to cool completely.
  • To make the chocolate ganache
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, heat HEAVY CREAM on medium power until it's steaming and warmed, but not scalding. Add CHOCOLATE CHIPS and let it rest a few minutes. Use a whisk or fork to stir until combined. The ganache will have a thick but pourable consistency.
  • If it's too thick, whisk in a splash of heavy cream and microwave another minute or so. If it's too thin, add a few chocolate chips and stir until melted and combined.
  • Drizzle chocolate ganache over the cake and (optional) garnish with sliced almonds, orange zest, or strawberries.
  • Add the final touch by drizzling Chocolate Raspberry Balsamic around the cake. (Amount is personal preference)
