Best Cocoa And Yoghurt Marble Cake Recipes

MARBLE CAKE

Steps:

• for the marble cake: Preheat oven to 350° F. Very lightly spray bottom and sides of a 15" x 10" x 1" rimmed pan with cooking spray. This is the pan I use. Set aside.
• In a small cup or bowl, gently melt the semisweet chocolate. Take care to not let it scorch. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
• In small bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
• In large bowl, beat butter and sugar with electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally, until fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, just until smooth. Beat in vanilla. On low speed, beat in one-third of the flour mixture, then the whole milk, beating after each addition, just until smooth. Repeat with flour mixture and then 1/2 cup of the sour cream, ending with flour mixture, scraping side of bowl occasionally. Spread 3-1/2 cups of vanilla batter evenly into pan.
• In a small cup or bowl, whisk together cocoa powder and baking soda. Add to remaining vanilla batter along with remaining 1 tablespoon of sour cream and cooled melted semisweet chocolate. Fold until thoroughly combined into a chocolate batter. Spoon chocolate batter by generous tablespoonfuls evenly onto vanilla batter. Cut through mixture several times with a butter knife for marbled design. Firmly tap pan on counter several times to eliminate air bubbles and settle the batter evenly into the pan.
• Bake 20 to 22 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Set on baking rack to cool completely.
• For the double chocolate buttercream: In medium microwavable bowl, gently microwave chocolate chips uncovered until they are about halfway melted. Take care to not scorch the chocolate. Remove from microwave and stir until smooth. Let cool for 5 to 10 minutes, until just barely warm. In small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, baking cocoa, and kosher salt. Add butter to melted and cooled chocolate, along with powdered sugar mixture, half and half, and vanilla. Beat with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, scraping side of bowl occasionally. Spread on top of cooled cake. Cut cake into pieces and serve.

MARBLE CAKE I

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9 inch round pan.
• Place flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, butter or margarine, eggs, vanilla, and milk into mixing bowl. Beat slowly to moisten, then beat with an electric mixer at medium speed for about 2 minutes until smooth. Reserve 3/4 cup batter; pour the remainder into pan.
• Stir cocoa into the 3/4 cup reserved batter. Drop by spoonfuls over top of white batter. Using a knife, swirl the cocoa batter into the white batter to incorporate it in a marble effect.
• Bake in preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, until an inserted wooden pick comes out clean.

COCOA AND YOGHURT MARBLE CAKE

Steps:

• In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside. In another bowl, beat together the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs, beating after each addition. Mix in the yoghurt until smooth. Whisk in the dry ingredients until just combined.
• Remove about 2/3 to 3/4 cup of batter and place in a separate bowl. Add the cocoa powder and mix until smooth. Pour enough of the light batter to evenly coat the bottom of your greased pan. Then add the chocolate batter and light batter in a checkerboard pattern. Once all the batter has been added, take a knife or a toothpick and run it through the batter, swirling it around (or simply add the light batter, then add the chocolate batter in spots, grab a fork and move it around a few times in the batter).
• Bake for about 45 minutes at 180°C/350°F, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, before placing on a cooling rack to cool completely.

• In another large bowl, whisk together yogurt, the 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar, the oil, egg product, buttermilk, and vanilla. Add yogurt mixture to flour mixture; beat with a wire whisk just until combined. In a medium bowl, combine cocoa powder and the 2 tablespoons espresso powder. Add half of the yogurt mixture (about 2 cups) to the cocoa mixture, stirring until smooth; set aside. Add the reserved 1/2 cup flour to the remaining yogurt mixture, whisking just until combined.
• Spoon half of the white batter evenly into the prepared pan. Carefully spoon half of the chocolate batter atop the white batter in pan in an even layer. Repeat layers with remaining batter.
• Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Remove cake from pan. Place cake on a wire rack set over a sheet of waxed paper. Using a long wooden skewer, poke cake in several places all the way through to the bottom.
• In a small bowl, combine the boiling water, the 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, and the 2 teaspoons espresso powder. Stir until sugar and espresso powder are dissolved.
• Slowly pour coffee mixture evenly over top of cake. Cool completely. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and/or cocoa powder.
