Chocolate-Vanilla Swirl Bundt Cake image

No master decorating skills needed for this stunning cake. Pipe chocolate and vanilla cake batter into the swirls of a bundt pan, and it does the job for you.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 3h

Yield 12 to 14 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Nonstick cooking spray, for greasing the pan
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
2 tablespoons whole milk
4 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
8 large eggs, plus 2 yolks, at room temperature
4 sticks (2 cups) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 3/4 cups granulated sugar
1 cup dark cocoa powder
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 to 2 tablespoons whole milk

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Spray a 12-cup swirled bundt cake pan, such as Nordic Ware Heritage Bundt Pan, with cooking spray.
  • Whisk together the flour and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk together the milk, vanilla, eggs and yolks in a second medium bowl.
  • Beat the butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Gradually pour in the granulated sugar, 1/4 cup at a time, and beat until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
  • Turn the mixer to low and add the flour mixture 1/4 cup at a time until fully incorporated, about 3 minutes. Add the egg mixture and beat until the batter is combined, about 3 minutes.
  • Spoon 4 cups of the batter into a large resealable plastic bag. Add the cocoa powder to the bowl with the remaining batter and beat on low speed until combined, about 1 minute. Spoon the chocolate batter into a second large resealable plastic bag.
  • Snip the corners off the bags. Working in alternating colors, pipe strips of batter into the ridges of the pan (the pan has an odd number of ridges so you will have two of the same batters next to each other). Use a long wooden skewer to spread the strips of batter in the ridges, taking care not to let batter spill over into the neighboring color. Pipe the rest of the batter into the pan in large dollops, alternating flavors as you go. Gently smooth the top of the batter with an offset spatula.
  • Bake until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the top springs back when lightly pressed, 55 to 60 minutes. Cool the cake on a rack for 10 minutes. Invert the cake onto the rack to cool completely, about 2 hours.
  • For the glaze: Meanwhile, whisk together the confectioners' sugar and milk in a medium bowl to make a thick but pourable glaze, adding a little more milk or sugar to get the right consistency. Drizzle the glaze into the ridges of the cake.

2 -3 tablespoons milk
8 semi-sweet chocolate baking squares, broken into pieces**

3/4 cup evaporated milk (NOT sweetened condensed milk)
1 (4 ounce) hershey's milk chocolate candy bars, broken into pieces
1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon margarine
1 cup flaked coconut
1/2 cup chopped nuts

Steps:

  • FOR THE VANILLA BATTER: Cream butter, sugar and vanilla in large mixer bowl until light and fluffy. Add eggs; beat well. Combine flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda and the salt; add alternately with buttermilk to creamed mixture.
  • FOR THE CHOCOLATE BATTER: Combine syrup and 1/4 teaspoon baking soda. Measure 2 cups of the vanilla batter into small bowl; blend in chocolate syrup mixture.
  • Add coconut to remaining vanilla batter; pour vanilla batter into GREASED and FLOURED 12 cup Bundt pan or 10 inch tube pan. Pour chocolate batter over vanilla batter in pan; DO NOT MIX.
  • Bake at 350°F about 70 minutes or until cake tester comes out clean. Cool 15 minutes; remove from pan. Cool completely; glaze or frost as desired. I served it plain with whipped cream. 12 to 16 servings.
  • TO MAKE THE ICING: Cream butter and confectioners' sugar in small mixer bowl; blend in syrup. Melt chocolate bar pieces in top of double boiler over hot, not boiling, water; add to syrup mixture. Add milk; beat to spreading consistency. Makes about 2 1/2 cups.
  • TO MAKE THE GLAZE: Combine chocolate and cream in small saucepan. Cook over very low heat, stirring constantly, until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth; do not boil. Remove from heat; cool, stirring occasionally, until mixture begins to thicken, about 10 to 15 minutes. About 1 cup.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients. This will help the cake batter mix together more smoothly and evenly.
  • Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, making the cake lighter and more tender.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Sift the flour before measuring it. This will help to ensure that the cake is light and airy.
  • Add the flour to the batter in three additions, alternating with milk. This will help to prevent the batter from becoming too thick.
  • Divide the batter into two bowls. Add cocoa powder to one bowl and vanilla extract to the other. Stir until just combined.
  • Pour the batters into the prepared loaf pan, alternating colors. Swirl the batters together with a knife or toothpick.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 60-70 minutes.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting.

Conclusion:

This chocolate vanilla swirl pound cake combines the classic flavors of chocolate and vanilla in a moist and delicious loaf cake.
