Marbled Angel Cake
Ingredients
Cake
- 1 (14.5 ounce) box angel food cake mix
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Chocolate Glaze
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 cup miniature semisweet chocolate morsels
Instructions
Cake
- Prepare cake batter according to package directions. Measure 4 cups batter into a separate bowl.
- Gradually fold cocoa powder into this batter until well blended, being careful not to deflate the batter.
- Alternately pour vanilla and chocolate batters into an ungreased, 10 inch tube pan. Cut through batter with knife or spatula to marble.
- Bake on the lowest rack of a preheated 375 degrees F oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until top crust is firm and looks very dry.
- Let cake cool, hanging the pan upside down on a heat-proof funnel or bottle, at least 1 1/2 hours.
- Carefully run a cake knife along side of pan to loosen cake. Place on a serving plate and drizzle with chocolate glaze.
Chocolate Glaze
- In a small saucepan, bring sugar and water to a full boil, stirring until sugar dissolves.
- Remove from heat. Immediately add chocolate morsels. Stir with wire whisk until morsels are melted and mixture is smooth.
- Let cool to desire consistency, and use immediately.
