Orange Chocolate Chunk Pound Cake

Preheat the oven to 350º and grease and flour a Bundt pan.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

In a large bowl, whisk together the orange juice, buttermilk, and vanilla.

In another bowl, toss the chocolate chunks with a few tablespoons of flour.

In the bowl of your mixer, beat together the butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 4-5 minutes. Add in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the orange zest.

On low speed, add in the flour mixture in 3 parts, alternating with the buttermilk-orange mixture, mixing until combined after each addition.

Still on low speed, mix in the chocolate chunks tossed in flour.

Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, and bake at 350ºF until a toothpick comes out clean, about 50-60 minutes.

Once done, cool the cake pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes.

Turn the cake out onto the wire rack, and cool completely before enjoying!
