I asked my wonderful friend and fellow baker CG to pick which of the cakes she wanted as her Christmas gift. She chose this one. I had to cut a piece from the middle before giving it to her so I knew what it tasted like (And for the picture). I shared the piece with my mom and we were so entranced by it that we did not even notice my 2 year old falling from the chair saying "Save me!". She was OK and the Cake was Amazing. I wish the recipe made 2!
I was a bit concerned over how to achieve the "marble effect". I did not divide the batter evenly in thirds (Math is not my strong point) and I also overlooked the extra Tbsp of cocoa needed which made the chocolate batter runnier than expected. My "checkerboard" looked more like it flooded. I ran the knife through twice to create the now "muddy" swirls.
It baked for 52 minutes
127 to Go!
