What a delicious couple of weeks it's been. So many new cakes to taste. This marble loaf recipe made perfect nibbling while watching the royal wedding. I knew it was going to be good, so I made two variations.
Pictured above is the chocolate and orange cake. Always a delicious combination. Below is my cardamom and espresso variation. I will now always remember that cardamom infuses any flavour you put beside it. Nonetheless, both cakes were heartily enjoyed.
Thanks to Carol of The Bake More blog for choosing this recipe. The complete recipe is available on her site. I see two elephants kissing in this cake slice. What do you see?
This week's recipe is Brown Sugar Bundt cake. I will add this one to my repetoire. The cake is a lovely moist base for a variety of options. Of course I chose too many and then the cake started to fall apart when I cut it.
Along with brown sugar, the main batter ingredient is ground walnuts. The texture is great. I wanted to use pears, as Dorie recommended. Since I had only canned, I wiped them off carefully, but they still added maybe too much moisture to the cake. I finished the cake off with a bittersweet chocolate glaze. Then company arrived and I almost forgot to snap a photo.
The amazing Peggy of Pantry Revisited chose this recipe. Please go and grab it. You'll want to try this one very soon.
That's some gorgeous marbling, great job!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful job marbling your cakes! I really liked the cardamom version. And the brown sugar cake was delicious!
ReplyDeleteYour marbling is perfect and I do see and love the kissing elephants! GREAT stuff!
ReplyDeleteThat is some fabulous marbling you have there! It has the "wow" factor. And your brown sugar cake looks delicious. Thank you so much for baking along with me this week!!
ReplyDeleteYou are right the cake was wonderful ! I love the kissing slices, did you see my swn last week ?
ReplyDeleteI see an upside down bell. The marbling business is so unpredictable--maybe that's why it's so much fun. Yours turned out great in the top picture.
ReplyDeleteBittersweet chocolate glaze...mmmm! And I totally see the elephants kissing in the marble cake!
ReplyDeleteI do see the elephants! That is a beautiful cake.
ReplyDeleteDorie has so many good bundts. Choices, choices. Have a great day.
How can you possibly have too many additions.
ReplyDeleteThe elephants aren't pink are they cause I see them and I haven't had anything to drink in years. LOL
Wow, all your cakes look good (and I can see the elephants, but I also see a face). I think the Bundt with pears and a chocolate glaze would be wonderful. I made a hazelnut version and it was so good.
ReplyDeleteWow they look great the chocolate orange looks so tempting!
ReplyDeleteYour cakes are both wonderful. This is my first visit to your blog and I've been browsing through your earlier entries. I really like the food and recipes you feature here and I'll definitely be back. I hope you have a great day. Blessings...Mary
