Author: Elizabeth Williams  

The simple base flavor of butter and vanilla is an excellent complementary taste to the slightly bitter chocolate swirled into every bite. This scratch marble pound cake has a wonderfully rich flavor with just the right amount of chocolate.

Ingredients:

• 3 sticks (339 g) unsalted butter, softened
• 3 cups (600 g) sugar
• 5 large eggs, room temperature (place in a bowl of warm water to speed up the process if needed)
• 3 cups (342 g) cake flour, (not self-rising)- we used Swan's Down- See Notes for substitution
• 1/2 teaspoon (2 g) baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup (232 g) heavy cream (or whipping cream) - Do not whip
• 3 teaspoons (12 g) vanilla extract
• (To be added to the 2 cups of reserved cake batter)
• 3 Tablespoons (21g) Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
• 3 Tablespoons (44g) very hot water
• 4 oz Semi-Sweet or Dark Chocolate
• 3 oz Heavy Cream or Whipping Cream

How to cook:

1. Grease and flour a tube pan. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F
2. In a separate bowl whisk the cake flour, salt, and baking powder to combine. Set aside for later.
3. Cream the butter with the paddle attachment in your mixer, gradually add the sugar and mix until lighten in color and fluffy 3 to 5 minutes.
4. Add the eggs one at a time blending after each addition.
5. Add the vanilla extract to the one cup of heavy cream.
6. With the mixer on low speed, add the flour mixture alternately with the heavy cream. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. (We added the dry ingredients three times and the milk twice.) After the last addition of the flour mixture, mix just until batter is well incorporated and smooth.
7. Remove two cups of cake batter and put in a bowl. (This is about 1/4 of your cake batter).
8. In a separate bowl, dissolve 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder for 3 tablespoons of very hot water. Stir until dissolved, allow to sit for 3 minutes- this allows cocoa to bloom.
9. Then, stir chocolate mixture into the reserved cake batter until the color is uniform.
10. Add about three cups of the vanilla cake batter to the pan and spread.
11. Next, add the chocolate batter on top of that and lightly spread (it doesn't have to look perfect).
12. Add the remaining vanilla batter to the pan. Lightly marble the batter with a knife by holding it vertically and moving it through the batter a few times. Be careful not to over-marble the batter.
13. Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour- 1 hour, 10 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean or with just a few crumbs attached. Baking times can vary and so peek in as it approaches the 1 hour mark. If the top of the cake begins to get too dark, cover loosely with a piece of aluminum foil.
14. Combine the 4 oz. semi-sweet or dark chocolate and 3 oz. heavy cream in a microwave safe bowl. Heat in the microwave in small increments (30 seconds or less), stirring occasionally in between, until the chocolate is almost completely melted.
15. Then, allow to sit a minute or two and gently stir to melt any remaining pieces of chocolate. Cool the ganache to desired consistency for dripping.
16. You can apply the ganache drip to the cooled pound cake either through a disposable piping bag (or ziplock bag) with the tip or corner snipped away, or simply by spooning it over the cake. The ganache will thicken a bit as it cools.
17. Cool ganache to your liking. If it is too hot, it will run all the way down the side of the cake. You can test the drip on the inside of a bowl to see if you are happy with the consistency/temperature.

Marble Pound Cake

This marble pound cake is buttery and rich with a very tight crumb. The simple base flavor of butter and vanilla is an excellent complementary taste to the slightly bitter chocolate swirled into every bite.
Provided by: Lynn April

Cook time: 65 minutes
Prep time: 20 minutes
Yields: 10 servings
Number of ingredients: 8

Ingredients:

• 2 cups minus 2 Tablespoons (215g) cake flour1
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter (softened to room temperature2)
• 1 and ½ cups (300g) granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 4 large eggs (at room temperature2)
• ¼ cup (60g) sour cream (at room temperature2)
• 2 Tablespoons (10g) unsweetened cocoa powder

How to cook:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Spray a loaf pan with non-stick spray. Set aside.
2. Sift the cake flour, add the salt, whisk everything together, and set aside.
3. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl with an electric hand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar on medium speed until very light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl several times during mixing. The mixture should be very pale yellow after mixing.
4. With the mixer running, add the vanilla. Next, add in one egg at a time, mixing on medium speed and allowing each egg to fully incorporate before adding the next. Scrape down the sides of the bowl frequently. Do not rush this process.
5. Again with the mixer running, add the dry ingredients to the bowl in three additions, alternating with the sour cream in two additions, starting and stopping with the dry ingredients. Continue to mix on medium speed in between each addition until fully incorporated.
6. Divide the batter in half and gently stir the cocoa powder into one half of the batter. Spoon each batter into the prepared pan, alternating between plain and chocolate. Use a butter knife to swirl the batter to make a marble pattern.
7. Bake the pound cake for 50-65 minutes until a cake tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out with moist crumbs.
8. Remove from oven and place on a cooling rack. Allow the cake to cool for 20 minutes before turning out of the pan to cool completely before slicing. Store leftovers at room temperature up to 3 days. Loaf freezes well, up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature.
