Choco Marble Chiffon Cake
Ingredients:
– 1 1/2 cups cake flour
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1/2 cup cocoa powder
– 1 tablespoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup vegetable oil
– 6 large eggs, separated
– 1 cup milk
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and prepare a 10-inch tube pan by ungreased lining its bottom with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, sift together the cake flour, 3/4 cup of sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Make a well in the center and add in the vegetable oil, egg yolks, milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk the mixture until smooth and well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, using a hand or stand mixer, whisk the egg whites and cream of tartar until frothy. Gradually add in the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
4. Gently fold a third of the egg white mixture into the chocolate batter to lighten it. Then carefully fold in the remaining egg whites until no white streaks remain, being careful not to deflate the mixture too much.
5. Pour half of the batter into the prepared tube pan, spreading it evenly. Tap the pan on the counter a few times to release any air bubbles. Add spoonfuls of the remaining batter on top in a random pattern.
6. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the batter to create a marbled effect. Be careful not to overmix; you want distinct streaks of chocolate throughout the cake.
7. Bake the Choco Marble Chiffon Cake for about 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and immediately invert the pan onto a wire rack to cool completely. This helps prevent the cake from collapsing.
9. Once the cake has cooled completely, run a knife around the edges to loosen it from the pan. Gently remove the cake from the pan and peel off the parchment paper from the bottom.
10. Slice and serve the Choco Marble Chiffon Cake on a beautiful cake stand or plate. Enjoy a slice on its own or pair it with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat.
This Choco Marble Chiffon Cake is a delightful dessert that beautifully combines the flavors of chocolate with the light and airy texture of a chiffon cake. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply indulging your sweet tooth, this recipe is sure to be a hit. So, roll up your sleeves, grab your ingredients, and get ready to bake up a delectable treat that will have everyone coming back for more.
