Chocolate Marble Swirl Cake with Hazelnuts
Why not try a beautiful and creamy marble cake for Carnival, where every slice is indeed a delight hehehehe.
Ingredients
- Unsalted Butter – 125gr
- Sugar – 200gr
- Eggs – 4
- Milk – 100ml (Semi-Skimmed)
- Flour – 200gr
- Cooking Chocolate – 140gr (60% Cocoa)
- Vanilla – 1 Tablespoon (Extract)
- Nuts – 100gr
- Salt – A Pinch
Directions
- Combine the sugar and room temperature butter in a large bowl and whisk until smooth.
- Then separate the egg yolks from the egg whites and add the egg yolks and milk, whisk again until everything is incorporated.
- Now add the sifted flour and mix with a wooden spoon.
- whisk the egg whites until stiff, then take spoonfuls of the batter and carefully fold into the rest of the batter.
- Now divide the dough into two parts, in one part you will add a tablespoon of vanilla extract.
- Melt the chocolate in a bain-marie (double-boiler) then add it to the other dough, so you have one chocolate and one vanilla.
- Preheat the oven to 180ºC and prepare a rectangular pan by greasing with butter and then lining with non-stick paper.
- Pour the batter into the molds, it’s best to do it one at a time to try and create patterns in the batter.
- Finally sprinkle with the nuts, in my case I still had to grind the almonds and hazelnuts that were whole, bake for about 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown, prick with a toothpick in the center if it comes out dry then the cake is ready, remove from the oven and let cool before removing from the pan, bon appetit!
