Marble Velvet Cake

Best marble cake ever!

I made this recipe as marble cupcakes. It is flavorful and the chocolate cake is perfectly balanced with the yellow. Not a difficult or time-consuming cake, just make a classic yellow sour cream batter, add melted chocolate to a portion, then swirl.

The recipe makes 24 flat-topped cupcakes. For rounded tops, consider reducing the baking powder slightly.

As one reviewer put it, the best marble cake ever. Not just because it’s easy to make and has a good balance of great chocolate and vanilla flavours but because the crumb lives up to its name, velvety soft, even made with all purpose flour.

I omitted the chocolate glaze - it’s just not necessary.
