Chocolate Intrigue Marble Cake Recipes

CHOCOLATE MARBLE LOVE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9-by-13-inch baking pan.
• Prepare the cake batter according to the package directions. Spoon evenly into the prepared pan and set aside.
• Combine the ricotta, sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla, eggs and 4 ounces of the mascarpone in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat until smooth. Gently scoop the filling onto the cake batter and spread, so the top is completely covered. Bake until a skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean and the vanilla cake layer has risen to the top, 50 to 60 minutes. Let cool completely in the pan on a cooling rack.
• Combine the instant pudding, milk and the remaining 12 ounces mascarpone in a stand mixer and beat until thick and smooth. Spread the frosting evenly over the entire cake. Use a peeler to shave chocolate curls to garnish the cake.

MOM'S CHOCOLATE INTRIGUE CAKE

Steps:

• I think you could use store-bought chocolate syrup in this recipe, but the syrup made in the original recipe is not as thick, so store-bought might change the outcome of the cake.
• Place the ingredients for the chocolate syrup in a saucepan on the stove and cook over medium high until it reaches a syrupy consistency. Pour into a chilled bowl and place in fridge to cool quickly.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a tube pan with removable bottom. Mine has a fairly large center hole of about 4 inches.
• Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each.
• Sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Pour milk into the measuring cup and add vanilla.
• Add the dry ingredients and the milk to the cake a little at a time, alternating between the two.
• Stir the baking soda into the chocolate syrup.
• Pour 2/3 of the batter into the prepared tube pan, smoothing out the top.
• Mix the syrup into the remaining batter and spread this batter on top of the other batter, again smoothing the top.
• Bake for 45 minutes. Then place aluminum foil over the pan and bake an additional 20-25 more minutes or until done.
• We usually serve this cake without frosting, but for birthdays, I would add my Italian Chocolate Frosting.
• When sliced, the chocolate should have moved down to form a circle in the middle of the cake that the kids say looks like a person's head and shoulders. They get a kick out of the slightly different shape each time the cake is baked.

• In a separate bowl mix the flour and the cocoa powder.
• Add a few spoons of the flour mixture; mix and then beat in an egg do this continuously until the eggs and flour mixture have finished.
• If the mixture is too dry add the milk.
• White mixture: cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy add some flour then beat in an egg. Do this until the eggs and flour have finished.
• Butter and flour a baking tray 24cm by 24cm.
• Put blobs of the chocolate mixture into the tray and then do the same with the white mixture.
• Get a butter knife and slowly mix the mixture in the tray (not so it goes light brown) so it forms a spiral of white and brown.
• Put it in the oven for about half an hour on gas mark 6.
• When the cake is nearly cooked get some plain chocolate and melt over a pan of boiling water.
• Get out the cake.
• When it is cooled down, spread the melted chocolate over the top of the cake then sprinkle with coconut powder.

CHOCOLATE MARBLE CAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Grease a 20cm cake tin and line the bottom with a circle of greaseproof paper.
• If you want to make life easy, simply put 225g butter, 225g caster sugar, 4 eggs, 225g self-raising flour, 3 tbsp milk and 1 tsp vanilla extract into a food processor and whizz for 1-2 mins until smooth.
• If you prefer to mix by hand, beat 225g butter and 225g caster sugar together, then add 4 eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
• Fold through 225g self-raising flour, 3 tbsp milk and 1 tsp vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.
• Divide the mixture between 2 bowls. Stir 2 tbsp cocoa powder into the mixture in one of the bowls. Take 2 spoons and use them to dollop the chocolate and vanilla cake mixes into the tin alternately.
• When all the mixture has been used up (and if young kids are doing this, you'll need to ensure the base of the tin is fairly evenly covered), tap the bottom on your work surface to ensure that there aren't any air bubbles.
• Take a skewer and swirl it around the mixture in the tin a few times to create a marbled effect.
• Bake the cake for 45-55 mins until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Turn out onto a cooling rack and leave to cool. Will keep for 3 days in an airtight container or freeze for up to 3 months.

CHOCOLATE MARBLE CAKE

Steps:

• Have all ingredients at room temperature Preheat oven to 350 degrees with rack in the lower third of the oven. Spray 8-10 cup tube pan with cooking spray.
• Use a whisk to combine four, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Sift together. Set aside. In a small bowl combine the espresso powder, cocoa and 1/3 cup of the sugar with 1/4 cup of water. Whisk until smooth. Set aside. In another small bowl, whisk whole egg with egg white. Set aside.
• Cut the butter into pieces and place in an electric mixing bowl. Beat for 1 minute to soften. Gradually add remaining 1 cup of sugar and beat at high speed for about 3 minutes. Dribble eggs in slowly, about 1 T at a time, beating constantly for about 2 minutes. On low speed, beat in a third of the flour mixture. On medium-high speed, beat in half of the yogurt. On low speed, beat in half of the remaining flour. On high speed, beat in the rest of the yogurt and the vanilla. On low speed, beat in the remaining flour.
• Measure out 1 1/2 cups of yogurt batter and mix into the cocoa mixture. Set aside.
• Use a large spoon to fill the bottom of the pan with about three quarters of the white batter placed in dollops. Cover the white batter with dollops of chocolate batter. Top the chocolate batter with small dollops of white batter spaced so that the chocolate batter shows through. Use a table knife to marble the batters together with a circular or zigzag motion; be careful not to blend them too much. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the cake starts to pull away from the sides of the pan and a toothpick inserted in comes out clean.
• Cool for 10-15 minutes on a rack. Unmold the cake. Cool completely before serving or storing.
