Directions
Make the cake
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Butter and flour a 10-cup Bundt pan; set aside. Beat sugar and eggs in a stand
mixer fitted with the whisk attachment on medium-high speed until thick and
fluffy, about 5 minutes. With mixer running, slowly drizzle in oil. Add orange
zest. Beat on medium-high speed for 2 minutes.
Whisk together flour,
baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Reduce mixer speed to low; gradually
add flour mixture to egg mixture, stopping to scrape down sides of bowl as
needed. Fold in vanilla and orange juice with a rubber spatula until batter is
smooth.
Pour batter into prepared
pan; bake in preheated oven until a wooden pick inserted in center of cake
comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cake cool in pan on a wire rack for 10
minutes. Invert cake onto wire rack; cool completely, about 2 hours.
Make the glaze
Whisk together powdered
sugar, cocoa, butter, vanilla, espresso powder (if using), salt, and 2
tablespoons orange juice in a medium bowl until smooth. Whisk in remaining 1
tablespoon orange juice, 1 teaspoon at a time, until desired consistency is
reached. Spoon glaze evenly over cake; let stand 10 minutes. Garnish with
pomegranate arils, dried orange slices, and citrus leaves, if desired.
