Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Chocolate Ganache and Decoration

  • 1 cup white chocolate ganache
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate ganache
  • 1/2 cup whipped cream
  • 6–8 chocolate truffles
  • 1/4 cup white chocolate shards

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a cake pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder until evenly mixed.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In another large bowl, beat the unsalted butter and sugar together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring a light texture for your cake.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Incorporate the eggs one at a time into the butter-sugar mixture, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  5. Mix Dry Ingredients and Milk: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture alternately with the milk, stirring gently to create a smooth batter without overmixing.
  6. Divide Batter and Add Ganaches: Split the batter evenly into two bowls. Fold the white chocolate ganache into one half and the dark chocolate ganache into the other, blending each until fully incorporated.
  7. Create Marble Effect: Pour both batters alternately into the prepared pan, using a knife or skewer to gently swirl them together, forming a beautiful marble pattern.
  8. Bake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool and Frost: Allow the cake to cool completely. Spread a marbled frosting using equal parts white and dark chocolate ganache over the top for a striking finish.
  10. Decorate: Pipe whipped cream around the edges of the cake, then adorn with chocolate truffles and white chocolate shards to enhance elegance and texture.
  11. Chill Before Serving: Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour to set all elements and intensify flavors before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use good quality chocolate for the ganache and truffles to ensure rich flavor.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter to keep the cake light and fluffy.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting to prevent melting the ganache.
  • Marbling the batter lightly helps create a better swirl pattern; don’t overdo it.
  • Store the cake refrigerated and consume within 3 days for optimal freshness.
