Okay, I have an order for a yellow/chocolate marble cake. If it turns out well and tastes great, this cake will become a "standing order" for me. This customer will want this cake every time she orders one but of course with a different design.
My question is, how can I accomplish a marble cake with these two? I've never done a marble cake before and I want it to be moist and just "superb" so I can get the "standing order" from this customer?
Any and all ideas, tips, and recipes will be greatly appreciated!
Thank you for your time!!! ![]()

Duncan Hines has a marble cake mix. Basically you mix the golden part and then separate into two bowls, add chocolate to one bowl and then place then into the pans without completely incorporating them.
If you prefer scratch, do the same thing..separate the batter and add chocolate/cocoa to one bowl
Yes and you can do it with just the yellow mix too. The ratio is reserve one cup of your yellow cake batter and add 1/4 cup of sifted cocoa powder to it, works with from scratch cakes too!

Hello, Amy! I Found a few days ago a recipe on how to make a marble cake.
I'll be glad to send it to you, but first I have to find it, which is what I'm doing now, and then I, when I find it, I have to translate it, 'cause it's in spanish. So as soon as I finished doing that, i'll PM you with it. ![]()

I've never done a marble cake either, but would like to know. Do you just drop dollops of the chocolate batter randomly in your yellow batter and swirl with a knife or something?
the first time I did a marble cake I used the DH French Vanilla and did what cakefairy and squirelly said, separate some and add cocoa. The customer loved it! Next time she ordered the marble I found the DH marble mix so I bought that. She didn't like it anywhere near as much as the first one.
To marbelize the batter you drop dollops or drizzle it in lines and use a knife or whatever to swirl it around. That's the fun part! ![]()
Hi, Amy! Finally, I found it and translated it. ![]()
You know you can always substitute the cake batters and use anything you want.
Firstly make a mixture of normal cake flavor batter vanilla or white. Put aside the third part of the mixture and add 2 spoonfuls of cocoa powder and mix it well. In a mold put half of the mixture of vanilla or white batter and put some scatter spoonfuls of chocolate batter on the white one.
cucharadas de la mescla de chocolate....
Add remaining half of vanilla or white batter. Add the leftover chocolate flavor batter, and with a espatula inserted in the mixture make movements from a side towards the other. Then put in the oven, bake at require temperature.
Hope this can help.
Good Luck! ![]()

Oh thank you all so very much! I'm really nervous about doing it because I'm making this cake for a promotion at the Naval Hospital where my DH works. It's the secretary of the hospital that ordered the cake and she's the one who organizes ALL events involving the hospital. If she likes this one then she'll order two more for the the 16th for two retirements. Talk about last minute! She said that she's not worried about what the cake will look like, she's seen my cakes, but she's never tasted them.
I'll be making it on monday and the cake has to be delivered wednesday morning!

I use two batters, pour all of one in pan(s), dollop the other, then swirl with knife.
Thank you for the confidence boost! I can't wait to get started! Can't start 'till monday though! Just now working out the design details now! I'll definately let ya'll know how it turned out!
Thank you Sory and everyone who has given me recipes and details on making the cake!
Amy
