In large bowl, beat butter until creamy.

Gradually beat in sugar, continue beating until the mix is light and fluffy.

Turn mixer to low, sift in flour, baking powder, and salt. Beat until flour is absorbed. Beat in Grand Marnier and orange zest.

Beat in eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add mini-chips.
7
Spread the batter in the prepared pan, smoothing the top even.

Bake for 1 hour or until the cake shrinks from the side of the pan. You can use the toothpick method too!
