See the pictures yet? Oh yes, the new bundt pan is in the house – so excited! You know that inexplicable joy in that moment – that one tiny moment – when the cake pops out of the pan flawlessly even though it might be your 200th cake? That. With the first cake in a new pan with a new shape. So yes, take a moment and look at that gorgeous cake.

Have you found a recipe so good, that you want to bake it over and over again until it becomes your de factocomfort food? Even if you’ve just about finished the first cake and you are, once again, ready to create and relish the magic all over again? Because I think I just found that recipe.

The cake I baked for Bundt-a-Month last month was a Orange Strawberry Swirled Cream Cheese Pound Cake, a no-fail recipe. It was so appreciated that I decided to go with the same one but with a chocolate-y twist.

I had to make a few changes along the way of course. I reduced the flour by 1/4 cup, divided the batter into two, and added 1/2 cup of melted chocolate and 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder to one and vanilla to the other.

There was a debate in my head whether or not to give this one a glaze. A thick chocolate glaze went perfectly but I decided to serve it on the side and showcase the shape the cake as is.

So here is it – Luscious swirls of sweet vanilla and sinful chocolate: One delicious marble cake.
