Chocolate Mint Marble Cake Recipe
Ingredients
This delicious Chocolate Mint Marble Cake recipe is made with a combination of cocoa powder, butter, sugar, flour, eggs, baking powder, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract. It also requires a few extra ingredients to make it extra special. First off, you'll need semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks. You'll also need a few tablespoons of vegetable oil, and some semi-sweet mini chocolate chips. Finally, you'll need some dark green food coloring or food paste.
To make the Chocolate Mint Marble Cake, start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, lightly grease an 8-inch round cake pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray. Once the pan is greased, line the bottom with parchment paper, then lightly grease the parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt. Set the bowl aside. In a large bowl, beat together the butter, sugar, and eggs until light and fluffy. Add in the vanilla extract and peppermint extract, and mix until just combined. Slowly add in the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Set the bowl aside.
In a small bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and vegetable oil together in the microwave. Once the chocolate has melted, add it to the cake batter and mix until just combined. Pour half of the batter into the cake pan, spreading it out evenly. Then, pour the melted chocolate mixture into the remaining cake batter, stirring until just combined. Pour the chocolate batter into the cake pan, spreading it out evenly. Finally, use a knife or spoon to swirl the two batters together to create a marbled effect.
Bake the cake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then use a butter knife to loosen the edges and invert the cake onto a cooling rack. Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting or serving.
Instructions
Once the cake has cooled, it's time to make the frosting. To make the frosting, start by creaming the butter, powdered sugar, and peppermint extract together in a medium-sized bowl. Slowly add in the whipping cream and mix until light and fluffy. Finally, add in the green food coloring or food paste, and mix until desired color is reached. Spread the frosting over the top of the cooled cake, and then top with mini chocolate chips, if desired.
Once the frosting is spread, the cake is ready to be served. The Chocolate Mint Marble Cake can be served at room temperature, or chilled in the fridge for an extra delicious treat. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
