Vanilla Chocolate Swirl Cake Recipes

CHOCOLATE SWIRL CAKE

Steps:

• Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
• Add eggs, beating in one at a time.
• Sift over flour and baking powder and fold into butter mixture.
• Divide the mixture in half. Place one half in a separate bowl and mix in vanilla. Sift cocoa over other half of mixture and fold inches.
• Place alternate tablespoon of mixture into a baking paper-lined 20cm cake tin.
• Swirl the mixtures together with wooden skewer.
• Bake at 180 C for 35 - 40 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched.
• Cool cake a little. Turn out onto a cake rack and ice when cold.
• Icing: Melt butter and chocolate over a low heat, stir in icing sugar.
• Add water and mix to combine. Spread over cake when cool.
• If you wish to decorate the cake, use a potato peeler and peel white chocolate into curls and sprinkle over icing.

CHOCOLATE-VANILLA SWIRL BUNDT CAKE

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.

CHOCOLATE VANILLA SWIRL POUND CAKE

Steps:

• Spray and flour a loaf pan. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. In another bowl, beat the butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add the applesauce, sugar and vanilla to the butter. Add the eggs 1 at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl after each addition. Stir the flour into the butter, on low, alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour.
• Put 2/3 of the batter in the prepared loaf pan. Add the fudge sauce and the baking soda to the remaining batter and mix until just blended. Spoon the chocolate mixture on top of the batter in the pan and swirl with a butter knife.
• Bake for approximately 1 hour or until the cake pulls away from the sides of the pan. Cool 10 minutes in the pan. Remove from the pan and cool completely.

MARBLE SWIRL POUND CAKE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, with electric mixer at low speed, beat sugar and butter or margarine until blended. Increase speed to high, and beat until light and fluffy. Add flour, milk, baking powder, vanilla, salt, and eggs; beat at medium speed until well mixed. Increase speed to high, and beat batter 4 minutes longer.
• Remove about 2 1/2 cups batter to a medium bowl. With a wire whisk or fork, beat cocoa into batter in medium bowl until well blended.
• Grease a 10 inch tube pan. Alternately spoon vanilla and chocolate layers into prepared pan. With a large spoon, cut and twist through batters to obtain marbled effect.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool cake in pan, and on a wire rack, for 10 minutes. Remove cake from pan, and cool completely.
