Black and White Marble Sheet Cake with Chocolate Fudge Frosting

Categories: cakes

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 3 tbsp water, hot
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 1/2 cups white sugar
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 2 eggs, large
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup sour cream (regular or low fat)
• 1 cup milk (whole or low fat)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350F and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.

2. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup sugar, cocoa powder, hot water, and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract. Whisk to combine and set aside.

3. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

4. In a large bowl, cream together butter and 1-1/2 cups sugar until light. Beat in eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla and sour cream. Working in two or three additions, alternate adding flour mixture and milk to butter mixture (ending with addition of flour), mixing until no streaks of flour remain.

5. Scoop out 1 cup of cake batter and stir into cocoa mixture.

6. Spread white batter into prepared pan. Top with chocolate batter and drag a knife through to create a swirling pattern (don’t over-marble, though!).

7. Bake for 32-36 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake springs back when lightly pressed.

8. Cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.
