Marbled Cake with Chestnut Cream and Chocolate

I created this Marbled Cake with Chestnut Cream and Chocolate recipe for my little girl’s 4th birthday in October… Since then, we’ve made it several times, and since it’s always a favorite, I thought I’d share it with you… 😉

Just before her birthday, I asked her what kind of cake she’d like for the occasion, and of course she replied “a chocolate cake”, then added “but with several colors”.

So I thought of a marble cake, but as I’d made chestnut cream mousses and she’d discovered a passion for them, she immediately added: “and with chestnut cream”… In short, not easy!

So I ordered: chocolate + chestnut cream + several colors…

I looked for a marbré recipe on the web, but couldn’t find anything I liked, so I decided to give it a try based on my chocolate marbré recipe. The first try was a success!

Phew! I simply lengthened the baking time and the result was great: a moist, fragrant cake. This cake was much appreciated by young and old alike, and my princess was delighted with the result, which is what counts most 😉

So, are you tempted too? You won’t be disappointed!

  In a saucepan, then gently melt the chocolate with the milk, then pour into the preparation of the 2nd bowl and mix so that the whole is smooth and shiny.
• Butter and flour a cake tin or line it.

  Pour in the 2 batters, alternating colors, a large spoonful of each at a time.
• Bake for 45 minutes, and check the cooking with the blade of a knife: it should come out clean. If this is not the case, extend the cooking for 10 minutes.
