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 Almond Cream Cheese Pound Cake). 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.
