CHOCOLATE & ORANGE MARBLE CAKE
First cake I ever learned to make was a marble cake. It was for my Brownie Troops Cookbook. I remember being very proud because I had taken 3rd place with my mom's recipe. I hope you will enjoy this modern version. We like our chocolate cake to be on the sweet side, I have changed the measurement you may use less sugar, if you prefer.

CHOCOLATE-ORANGE MARBLE CAKE RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350F and position oven rack in the center of the oven. Lightly butter and flour a 9-inch fluted or plain tube pan and tap out the excess flour. Or, generously spray the cake pan with a baking non-stick spray such a Baker's Joy. For the cake: Melted the chocolate in a micro-wave proof bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring at each interval, until melted; about 2 minutes. Let cool until tepid. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. In a large bowl (or in a stand mixer), beat the butter, and sugar with an electric mixer set on high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. One at a time, beat in the eggs, scraping down the sides of the bowl after each addition. With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the flour mixture then the sour cream and vanilla (and Sweet Buttery Dough Flavor, if using). Transfer half of the batter to a medium bowl. Add the tepid chocolate mixture and chocolate chips (if using) and stir well. Add the orange zest (and orange oil, if using) to the plain batter. Spoon the batters alternately into the prepared pan. Using a table knife, swirl them together to create a marbled effect. Bake until a long bamboo skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean-- between 40 and 50 minutes (depending on your oven). Let cool on a wire cooking rack for 10 minutes. For the syrup: In a small saucepan, bring the orange juice and sugar to a boil over medium-heat, stirring often to dissolve the sugar. Strain into a glass measuring cup. Invert the cake onto the cooling rack and unmold. Place the rack on a plate (or baking sheet). Slowly drizzle the syrup all over the cake. Use a dessert spoon to scoop up any remaining syrup and drizzle it back over the cake. Let the cake cook completely on the rack.
Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before starting, ensure all ingredients are measured and ready. This ensures a smooth and efficient baking process.
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Bring butter, eggs, and milk to room temperature before mixing. This allows them to blend more easily, resulting in a smoother batter.
- Use High-Quality Chocolate: The quality of chocolate used significantly impacts the cake's flavor. Choose high-quality dark or semisweet chocolate for the best results.
- Cream Butter and Sugar Thoroughly: Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This incorporates air into the mixture, creating a lighter and more tender cake.
- Add Eggs One at a Time: Gradually add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This prevents the batter from curdling.
- Alternately Add Dry and Wet Ingredients: Begin with a small amount of dry ingredients and alternate with wet ingredients. This prevents the batter from becoming too thick or runny.
- Gently Fold in Orange Zest: Use a rubber spatula to gently fold in the orange zest to maintain its delicate flavor and texture.
- Divide Batter Evenly: Divide the batter evenly between the chocolate and orange batters. This ensures equal distribution of flavors and colors.
- Swirl the Batters: Carefully spoon dollops of chocolate and orange batters into the prepared pan, creating a swirled pattern. This creates the characteristic marble effect.
- Bake at Proper Temperature: Bake the cake at the specified temperature and time. Overbaking can result in a dry cake, while underbaking can leave it undercooked.
- Let the Cake Cool Completely: Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting or serving. This helps the cake to set properly and makes it easier to handle.

The Chocolate Orange Marble Cake is a delightful treat that combines the rich flavors of chocolate and orange. With its moist texture, vibrant colors, and tantalizing aroma, this cake is sure to impress any dessert lover.
