I made a chocolate-ginger marble cake for a party I went to on Saturday. I based it on a Crazy Cake recipe I had from kadenza and it turned out really well. It was a really easy cake to make and it was a hit at the party.

And because I can, here's the recipe...

Chocolate-Ginger Marble Cake

Chocolate Cake:
1 1/2 c flour
3 tbsp cocoa
1 c sugar
1 tsp soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vinegar
1/3 c oil
1 tsp vanilla
1 c water

Ginger Cake:
1 1/2 c flour
1 1/2 tbsp ginger
1 c sugar
1 tsp soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vinegar
1/3 c oil
1 tsp vanilla
1 c water

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a 9x13 pan with parchment paper.


• Using 1 bowl for the chocolate batter and another for the ginger, whisk together cake ingredients, dry to wet.


• Glop into the pan, alternating between ginger and chocolate.


• Using a chopstick (or bamboo skewer or toothpick or butter knife), swirl the layers using fairly largish loops until it looks how you like.


• Bake 40-50 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean.

Either the ginger or the chocolate would work out nicely on their own, but either only needs an 8" square baking pan lined with parchment and 30-40 minutes in a 350 degree F oven.

Oh, my. That looks good. I shall have to try that one.

It's most likely one of those cakes that tastes better the next day, but I didn't get a chance to prove (or disprove, as it was pretty tasty the day of) that theory.
