Regina'S Marble Cake
- 3/4 cup Crisco or butter
- 2 cups white sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 3 cups sifted flour
- 3 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon orange extract(or vanilla)
- 2 tablespoons chocolate( unsweetened cocoa powder)
- Orange glaze: 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon grand marnier, 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice and the zest of 1 orange (blood orange if you can find one) Simply put all in a little pot and heat until melted and clear and pour over the cake.
- Mix the butter, sugar, milk, flour, baking powder and orange extract together.
- Add the eggs, one at a time and mix well.
- Put one third of the batter in another bowl and add the chocolate and mix thoroughly.
- In a tube or bundt pan,(I recommend a non stick tube pan) put a layer of half of the white batter. Then pour in all the chocolate batter, and then, the rest of the white batter.
- Bake at 350 degrees for about an hour, but check for doneness after 45 minutes. Ovens are all different!
- Remove from pan. Regina never frosted her cake , nor do I.rnHowever, I have added a grand marnier glaze for those who would like a little extra sweetness and crunch of sugar.
