OLD-FASHIONED MARBLE BUNDT CAKE

Steps:

• For the vanilla batter: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Generously spray a 12-cup Bundt pan with the baking spray.
• Combine the butter, sugar, salt, baking powder, vanilla and oil in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed for 4 minutes. Stop and scrape the bowl and paddle with a rubber spatula. Add 2 of the eggs at a time, beating on medium speed for 30 seconds after each addition. Scrape the bowl.
• Add half of the cake flour and mix on low speed just until combined. Add the cream and buttermilk and mix again on low speed just until combined. Scrape the bowl.
• Add the remaining cake flour and start mixing on low speed to combine, then increase the speed to medium and beat for 4 minutes.
• For the chocolate batter: Transfer 2 cups of the vanilla batter to a medium bowl. Add the cocoa, sugar and baking powder and stir with a fork or small whisk until completely combined. Add the hot water and stir slowly until completely combined.
• Pour about half of the vanilla batter into the prepared pan. Dollop about half of the chocolate batter on top. Repeat with the remaining vanilla and chocolate batters. Run a skewer or butter knife through the pan to slightly swirl the 2 batters together.
• Bake until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs, 65 to 70 minutes. The cake will rise to fill the pan and will settle slightly once removed from the oven. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 30 minutes then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

MARBLE BUNDT CAKE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350°F. Coat the inside of a Bundt pan with nonstick spray, or butter and flour every nook and cranny well. Cream the butter and sugar together with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, scraping down the bowl between additions. Beat in the vanilla and sour cream until smooth, then add the milk. Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over batter, and mix until thoroughly combined. Add 2 cups of the flour to the batter, and mix until just combined.
• Scoop half of the batter-you can eyeball it-into a separate bowl, and stir the melted white chocolate into it until fully combined; then stir in 1/3 cup flour.
• Stir the cocoa powder and melted dark chocolate into the other half of batter.
• Drop or dot large spoonfuls of the white chocolate batter into the bottom of your prepared cake pan. Drop or dot large spoonfuls of the dark chocolate batter over that, checkerboarding it a little. Continue until all the batter is used. Use a skewer to marble the batters together in figure-8 motions.
• Bake the cake until a toothpick or skewer inserted into the center comes out batter-free, 40 to 50 minutes.
• Let cool completely in the pan on a cooling rack, then invert onto a cake plate.
• To finish:
• Heat the cream and chocolate together, and stir until just melted. Spoon over the fully cooled cake, and use the back of a spoon to nudge the drippings down in places. Refrigerate cake to set the chocolate coating; leftovers keep best in the fridge as well.

• allow the cake to cool for about half an hour before attempting to remove it from the pan.
