Marble Loaf Cake


This marble loaf cake from Martha Stewart's Baking Handbook is just delicious. The chocolate is richly, deeply, almost bitterly chocolaty. The vanilla is warmly sweet. The cake generally is moist and dense but not too heavy. The glaze is rich with white chocolate and sets very nicely. Plus it's remarkably simple to make and I think swirling the cake batter is a ton of fun (I like the method that Martha suggest of spooning in the batter in 2 layers both with a sort of checker board pattern, it helps distribute the chocolate and vanilla without risking over swirling the batters and blending them.)
