CHOCOLATE ORANGE MARBLE CAKE

Steps:

• Split the mixture into two bowls, beat the milk, followed by the cocoa powder into one. Beat the orange juice, zest and orange food colouring, if using, into the other.
• Spoon alternate dollops of the mixture into the cake tin, then use a skewer to create a marble pattern by dragging it through the mixture in swirls. Make sure you don't overmix or you won't see the pattern. Smooth the surface if necessary.

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.

Top with spoonfuls of the chocolate batter. Cut through batter with knife several times for marble effect.

MARBLED CHOCOLATE ORANGE CAKE

Steps:

• NOTE: My original recipe used less baking powder and I found that it didn't rise very much,so I increased the amount of baking powder.
• In a medium bowl ,whisk the eggs with the sugar,sour cream,oil,and orange juice.Add orange zest at this point if using any.
• In a separate bowl ,sift the flour and baking powder and gently mix together to evenly incorporate the baking powder into the flour.
• Slowly add the egg mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until everything is combined.
• Next, pour half of the batter into a separate bowl and add cocoa powder to it.If the cocoa mixture has a thicker consistency,then you can add a little bit of orange juice to thin it out.
• Lightly grease a 9 inch round or square cake pan and pour the batter interchangeably to get a marble or swirl effect.This is where you can get creative.
• Bake at 350 degrees F for 40 minutes or until tester comes out clean.
