ORANGE CHOCOLATE SWIRL POUND CAKE
I came up with this by accident. I was going to make an Orange Cream Cheese Pound Cake (inspired by Recipe#36041). I had 2 cake mixes on the table, an orange and a marble. I wasn't watching what I was doing and before I knew it I had dumped the yellow part of the marble mix in with the rest of the cream cheese, eggs, and ORANGE extract. Oh well. Oranges and Chocolate go great together, don't they? So I added the chocolate swir; and baked it. I glazed with softened canned chocolate frosting but any chocolate or orange glaze would probably be good too.

Tips:
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure proper emulsification and a smooth batter. - Cream the butter and sugar thoroughly until light and fluffy; this will incorporate air into the mixture, resulting in a tender crumb. - Gradually add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to prevent curdling. - Fold in the dry ingredients gently using a spatula; overmixing can result in a tough texture. - For the chocolate swirl, melt the chocolate and butter in a microwave or double boiler until smooth; then, stir in the cocoa powder. - Carefully spoon the chocolate mixture over the prepared cake batter in a zig-zag pattern; use a toothpick to swirl the chocolate through the batter. - Bake the cake in a preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. - Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing and serving.Conclusion:
