I used my new robin's egg blue Kitchenaid hand mixer(thanks to my kitchen fairy here) to mix this up in no time. very easy and it smells wonderful when baking. adapted from a Mennonite Girls Can Cook recipe. the picture looks more like a tunnel of fudge cake, but some of the pieces were more marbled than others.

Marble Cake

Ingredients:

1 1/2 c sugar

1 c butter, room temperature

3 eggs

1/2 c evaporated milk or cream

1/2 c sour cream

2 tsp vanilla

3 cups flour

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

½ tsp salt

1 cup milk

1/3 cup baking cocoa

1. Grease and flour a tube or bundt pan.

2. With hand mixer or stand mixer, mix sugar and butter well, beating in the eggs, then the evap milk( or cream) vanilla and sour cream.

3. Mix dry ingredients(except cocoa), then add to batter alternately with 1 cup milk, until smooth.

4. Pour 1/2 the batter into greased pan.

5. Mix the rest of the batter with cocoa and pour on top. Run a knife through the batter to marble it, or left in layers it will marble some by itself

6. Bake tube/bundt pan at 350 F for about 50 - 60 min, until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

7. Cool in pan for 10 minutes before removing. Dust with powdered sugar when cool, or drizzle with glaze.

AngAk1, that REC sounds delicious! I will view photo after I get home frm wrk (headqtrs blocks) but

seeing your name reminded me I meant to reply to a comment you made on 2/17 about how the Iditarod will be moved to Fairbanks for the start this year due to a dearth of snow.
I happened to mention what you said to my DH, and he immediately piped up to say I should tell you that they could move your famous race to southern Indiana! On 2/17 we had cold temps & deep snow all over creation, but it warmed up right at the end of last week, and on Saturday Feb 22, we hit 60 degrees so most of our white stuff has melted, BUT we're back in the deep freeze with 20, 8 and 13 degrees as the predicted lows for the coming 3 nights.
It has been nice to have so much snow this winter, but that is coming from a person who was raised in northern Indiana. Generally speaking, in Columbus, IN, (about an hour south of Indianapolis), there is never very much so we've had a most unusual winter.

 
I was raised in NW Indiana---Dyer, on the border of Il/In. start was moved to Willow

One musher from Michigan has already dropped out because our snow conditions are so bad, and his dogs are used to the perfect conditions he has had this winter. he said why travel 4000 miles to race on a bad trail? I don't blame him

 
Michael, beautiful cake, but that granite is fabulous....

do you know the name of it? I love the colors and the movement it has. Your kitchen must be beautiful...any pictures of it?

 
I googled Verde Bamboo and it looks nothing like what you have in your kitchen

You must have lucked out on a very colorful slab of it.

 
It was a salvage project. Can you believe someone was going to...

...truck it to a landfill? They were remodeling their kitchen and offered it to us.

We had a granite company haul it to their mill and re-work it to fit our counters.

We paid for the milling and installation, and tipped the guy a c-note for his good work.
