CHOCOLATE MARBLE CAKE

Marble cake is a classic childhood cooking memory. Whether using lurid colours for a psychedelic finish, or just chocolate and vanilla, it's a teatime treat

Provided by Emma Lewis

Categories     Afternoon tea

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 7

225g butter, softened
225g caster sugar
4 eggs
225g self-raising flour
3 tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp cocoa powder

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Grease a 20cm cake tin and line the bottom with a circle of greaseproof paper.
  • If you want to make life easy, simply put 225g butter, 225g caster sugar, 4 eggs, 225g self-raising flour, 3 tbsp milk and 1 tsp vanilla extract into a food processor and whizz for 1-2 mins until smooth.
  • If you prefer to mix by hand, beat 225g butter and 225g caster sugar together, then add 4 eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  • Fold through 225g self-raising flour, 3 tbsp milk and 1 tsp vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.
  • Divide the mixture between 2 bowls. Stir 2 tbsp cocoa powder into the mixture in one of the bowls. Take 2 spoons and use them to dollop the chocolate and vanilla cake mixes into the tin alternately.
  • When all the mixture has been used up (and if young kids are doing this, you'll need to ensure the base of the tin is fairly evenly covered), tap the bottom on your work surface to ensure that there aren't any air bubbles.
  • Take a skewer and swirl it around the mixture in the tin a few times to create a marbled effect.
  • Bake the cake for 45-55 mins until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Turn out onto a cooling rack and leave to cool. Will keep for 3 days in an airtight container or freeze for up to 3 months.

Julia and Jacques's Chocolate Roulade image

Chefs Julia Child and Jacques Pepin shared their recipe for this mouthwatering cake, a log-shaped cake made from a souffle-like mixture.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cake Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, for pan
2 cups heavy cream
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
7 egg whites, room temperature
3 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon cocoa powder, plus more for garnish
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 tablespoon Cognac
Confectioners' sugar, for garnish
Seasonal fruit, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees with rack in center. Butter an 11-by-17-inch jelly-roll pan or a 12-by-17 1/2-inch sheet pan, and line with parchment paper.
  • In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup cream to a simmer. Add chocolate, reduce heat, and whisk until chocolate is melted. As soon as mixture is a uniform dark color, remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes.
  • In a large bowl and using a hand mixer, whip egg whites and 2 tablespoons sugar to stiff, glossy peaks, about 1 1/2 minutes. Whisk one-quarter of the egg-white mixture into the chocolate mixture. Gently fold chocolate mixture back into the original egg-white mixture, and mix until smooth and well combined.
  • Pour batter into the prepared pan, and spread it in an even layer with a rubber spatula. Bake until cake is set and puffy, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack, and cool to room temperature. Lift parchment paper to remove cake from pan, and set it on work surface with long side facing edge of table. Using a fine-mesh sieve, lightly dust cake with cocoa powder.
  • Make the creme chantilly: Whip the remaining 1 cup cream with the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar, the vanilla, and cognac. Spread evenly over entire surface of cake.
  • Roll the cake lengthwise, starting at a point 2 to 3 inches over the creme chantilly. Roll cake another few inches, pressing against parchment paper to make a tight spiral. Gently peel parchment paper off as cake layer rolls away. Complete the roll, stopping at the far edge of the parchment paper. Tuck the loose parchment paper around and underneath the cylinder so it is well wrapped and can be moved easily. Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 4 hours.
  • When ready to serve, transfer roulade to serving platter. Remove parchment paper, gently rolling cake into center of platter, with seam on bottom. (If roll has slumped or twisted, lay a piece of plastic over top and sides, and reshape with hands.) With a sharp knife, trim both ends of roll crosswise or on a diagonal. Dust top with confectioners' sugar and cocoa powder, and garnish with seasonal fruit. To serve, cut the roll into 1-inch-thick slices, and lay flat on dessert plates; top with additional creme chantilly if desired.

CHOCOLATE ROULADE



Chocolate Roulade image

Freshly brewed coffee gives this dessert a subtle mocha flavor, but water can be substituted. The cake will crack slightly, but not break, as you roll it.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cake Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 7

7 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped (about 1 cup)
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon brewed coffee (or water)
7 large eggs, separated
1 cup granulated sugar
Unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder, for dusting
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 13-by-17-inch rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Melt chocolate with coffee or water in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Let cool completely. Whisk together yolks and granulated sugar with a mixer on medium speed until pale and thick, about 3 minutes. Reduce speed to low, and slowly add chocolate mixture, whisking until incorporated.
  • Whisk whites in a medium bowl until soft peaks form. Gently fold whites into chocolate mixture, using a rubber spatula, until combined, being careful not to deflate whites.
  • Spread batter evenly on lined baking sheet. Bake until cake is cooked through, about 20 minutes. Transfer sheet to a wire rack, and let cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
  • Loosen edges of cake from pan using a knife or an offset spatula. Dust top with cocoa powder, and turn out onto wire rack. Remove parchment, and let cool at least 1 hour. Beat cream and confectioners' sugar until soft peaks form. Spread evenly over top of cake, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges, and tightly roll, starting at 1 short side. Transfer to a baking sheet, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight. Lightly dust cake with cocoa powder.

Number Of Ingredients 12

Vegetable-oil cooking spray
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, plus more for dusting
1/2 cup cake flour (not self-rising)
2 tablespoons cornstarch
Pinch of salt
4 large eggs
1/2 cup sugar
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Armagnac Syrup

Chocolate Glaze
Chestnuts, in syrup, drained, for garnish

Steps:

  • Put eggs and sugar in the heatproof bowl of an electric mixer; set over a pan of simmering water. Whisk constantly until sugar is dissolved and eggs are hot to the touch. Transfer bowl to mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on high speed until pale, fluffy, and cool.
  • Sprinkle flour mixture over egg mixture; gently fold in with a rubber spatula. When almost combined, pour melted butter down side of bowl; fold in. Pour batter onto pan; smooth. Bake until cake pulls away from sides of pan and is springy to the touch, 8 to 10 minutes.

  • Starting from one short end, roll cake, using towel to guide into a log. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool completely.

  • Transfer cake to a rack set over a rimmed baking sheet; remove towel. Pour glaze on top. Refrigerate 30 minutes. Garnish with chestnuts, if desired.

CHOCOLATE-AND-VANILLA MARBLE ROULADE



Chocolate-and-Vanilla Marble Roulade image

Put a creative twist on the traditional rolled and filled cake known as roulade by going marble -- all you have to do to create the pretty pattern is mix up two contrasting batters.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cake Recipes

Yield Makes one 12-inch cake

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 cups heavy cream
4 ounces milk chocolate, chopped
Unsalted butter, room temperature, for baking sheet
1 cup cake flour (not self-rising)
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup safflower oil
4 large eggs, room temperature
1/3 cup whole milk
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 tablespoon Dutch-process cocoa powder, sifted
Vegetable-oil cooking spray

Steps:

  • Filling: Bring cream just to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat; pour over chocolate in a medium bowl. Let stand until softened, about 3 minutes; using a rubber spatula, stir until emulsified. Cover with plastic and refrigerate overnight.
  • Cake: Butter a rimmed baking sheet; line with parchment, then butter parchment. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, oil, egg yolks, and milk. In the bowl of a mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, combine egg whites, salt, cream of tartar, and vanilla. Whisk on medium speed until foamy, about 1 minute. Slowly add remaining 1/2 cup sugar. Increase mixer speed to high and continue whisking until stiff, glossy peaks form, about 5 minutes more.
  • Stir about one-third of egg-white mixture into flour mixture to lighten, then gently fold in remaining egg-white mixture in three additions. Transfer about 1 cup batter to a small bowl and gently fold in cocoa. Using an offset spatula, spread vanilla cake batter in prepared pan, filling pan completely and being careful not to deflate batter. Drop teaspoons of chocolate batter evenly across surface of vanilla batter, then swirl together to create a marble pattern. Bake until lightly golden brown and center of cake springs back when lightly pressed, about 18 minutes.
  • Run a knife between sides of cake and pan to loosen. Invert cake onto a sheet of parchment lightly coated with cooking spray; remove uncoated parchment from cake. Using coated parchment, start at a short end and roll up cake. Let cool completely, seam-side down.
  • Unroll cake. Whisk chilled chocolate filling to soft peaks. Evenly spread on top of cake, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Starting at a short end, carefully roll up cake without parchment. Transfer, seam-side down, to a serving platter to maintain cylindrical shape. Slice and serve (uncut rolled cake can be refrigerated up to 1 hour).
