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.

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE MARBLE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease an flour one 10 inch tube pan.
• To make marbling mixture: Combine 1/3 cup of the coca and 1/2 cup of the white sugar and mix well.
• In a large bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff, and set aside.
• In another bowl, cream the butter with 1 cup of the sugar and the brown sugar. Beat in the egg yolks, then the vanilla and sour cream.
• In another bowl, stir together the flour, cocoa, salt, and baking soda. Beat into the creamed mixture. Stir about 1/3 of the egg whites into the batter to lighten it and then fold in the rest gently but thoroughly. Spread about 1/4 of the batter into a greased and floured tube pan and sprinkle with about 1/3 of the cocoa-sugar mixture. Continue repeating layers, ending with the batter. With a knife, lightly swirl the batter and cocoa mixture together
• Bake at 325 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 1 3/4 hours, or until it tests done with a toothpick. Let cool on a rack. Makes 16 to 20 servings.

MARBLE SNACKING CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE FROSTING

Steps:

• For the cake: Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with cooking spray and line the bottom with parchment.
• Place the chocolate in a medium microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted. Set aside.
• Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
• Beat the granulated sugar, butter and oil in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy and pale, about 4 minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to low and add the vanilla and then the eggs one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula and mixing well after each addition. Add one-third of the flour mixture and beat on low speed until just combined. Add half of the milk and beat until combined. Repeat alternating additions of the flour mixture and milk, scraping down the sides of the bowl after each and beating until the last addition of flour is fully incorporated.
• Transfer one-quarter of the batter to the bowl with the melted chocolate and stir until the chocolate is evenly incorporated.
• Pour half of the remaining vanilla batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth out to the edges with an offset spatula. Scoop large spoonfuls of the chocolate batter on top of the vanilla batter and then pour the remaining vanilla batter on top. Using a skewer or butter knife, carefully swirl the chocolate batter into the vanilla batter to create a marbled effect.
• Bake, rotating the pan halfway through, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 35 minutes. The top of the cake should be springy to the touch and the vanilla spots should be lightly golden. Cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes, then use a paring knife to loosen the sides of the cake from the pan and invert onto a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
• For the frosting: Beat the butter in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy, about 3 minutes. Add the cocoa powder, cream, vanilla, salt and 1 1/2 cups of the confectioners' sugar and mix on low speed until fully incorporated. With the mixer still on low, gradually add the remaining confectioners' sugar and mix well. Increase the mixer speed to medium high and beat until the frosting is light and fluffy, about 2 minutes; the frosting will lighten in color as air is incorporated. (See Cook's Note.)
• Using an offset spatula, spread the frosting in a thick, swooping layer all over the top of the cooled cake.

CHOCOLATE FROSTED MARBLE CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Wrap the outside of a 10-inch springform pan with aluminum foil.
• Mix the chocolate graham cracker crumbs, 3 tablespoons sugar, and the butter in a bowl until thoroughly combined; press into the bottom of the springform pan.
• Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven. Turn the oven's heat up to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese for a few seconds with an electric mixer set on medium speed until fluffy and smooth. Beat in 3/4 cup sugar and the flour until the mixture is smooth; beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the milk and vanilla extract. Beat the cream cheese filling until very smooth and well combined, about 3 minutes.
• Spoon 2/3 of the cream cheese filling into the springform pan in an even layer over the crust. Melt 3 ounces of chocolate chips over low heat in a saucepan, stirring constantly until smooth, and mix in the remaining third of the filling. Pour the chocolate filling in a swirl pattern over the white filling; use a table knife to cut through the filling and swirl it into a decorative marble design.
• Place the springform pan into a roasting pan and add enough water to the roasting pan to reach 1 inch deep. Place the springform pan with the roasting pan water bath into the oven and bake until the filling is set, 40 to 45 minutes.
• When finished baking, remove the springform pan from the water bath and set the pan onto a cooling rack for 10 minutes; remove foil from around the pan. Loosen the edge of the cheesecake from the pan with a thin, sharp knife. Release the spring from the pan, remove the ring, and allow the cheesecake to cool for 15 more minutes. Wrap the cheesecake in plastic wrap and refrigerate until cold, at least 2 hours.
• To make frosting, melt 8 ounces of chocolate chips in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth, and mix in the sour cream until smooth and well combined. Frost the cheesecake with the frosting and refrigerate 10 minutes to set the frosting before serving. Refrigerate leftovers.
