Chocolate & Orange Marble Cake image

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.

Yield 1 cake, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup unsalted butter
1 1/2-1 3/4 cups sugar, white
4 eggs, large
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, pure
3 1/2 cups cake-and-pastry flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup 1% low-fat milk
1/2 cup chocolate chips (bittersweet or dark)
1/8 cup milk chocolate chips, melted
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons grated orange rind
2 tablespoons orange liqueur, grand marnia (may use orange juice)
icing sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Grease a deep 9-inch tube pan and dust with flour, put aside until needed.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Next beat in the eggs, one at a time then add vanilla.
  • Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt.
  • Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, making 3 additions of dry and 2 of the milk.
  • Put half the batter in a smaller bowl and stir in the melted chocolate chips and cocoa. Mix well.
  • Stir the orange rind and liquer into the remaining batter.
  • Pour half the orange batter into the a prepared tube pan.
  • Then in a random fashion spoon the chocolate batter overtop of the orange batter and finish with the rest of the orange batter.
  • Swirl a knife, through the batter to create marble effect.
  • Bake in 350°F oven for about 1 hour check and see if cake is done, if not keep in until a skewer inserted in centre of cake comes out clean, shouldn't take longer than 1 to 1 1/4 hours.
  • Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto wire rack to cool.
  • When ready to serve dust with a little icing sugar.

I didn't have any orange extract, so I used lemon extract instead. It still turned out great!
