Cocoa Ripple Ring Bundt Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously grease a 10-inch fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®), or use a nonstick pan.
• Combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, pudding mix, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Add milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed until combined. Beat on high speed for 2 minutes. Add eggs and beat for 2 minutes more. Add warm water and sour cream; beat until combined. Scrape down sides of the bowl. Stir in chocolate chips and pour batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until top is springy to the touch and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes. Remove and let cake cool thoroughly.

Steps:

• Almond Paste Frangipane: In the bowl of a food processor, blend the almonds, almond paste, and sugar until the nuts are finely ground. Add the egg and butter, process until smooth. Cover and freeze for 35 minutes. Keep refrigerated until ready to use.
• Cake: Place the oven rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees.
• Remove the frangipane from the refrigerator. Grease and lightly flour a 12-cup bundt pan. Sift together the cake flour, baking powder, salt and cocoa, set aside. Using an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium speed until creamy and smooth, about 30 to 45 seconds. Add the sugar and beat for 4 to 5 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla. On low speed, add the dry ingredients alternately with the milk in 3 additions, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Spoon about 2 cups of the batter into the prepared pan, spreading evenly. Spoon half the frangipane filling in dollops over the center of the batter. Spread the filling evenly over the batter, avoiding the center tube and the sides of the pan. Spoon about 1 1/2 cups of the batter evenly over the filling and spoon the remaining frangipane over the batter. Spoon the remaining batter over the filling. Bake until the cake springs back lightly when touched in the center and just begins to pull away from the sides of the pan, about 60 to 65 minutes. Transfer the cake to a cooling rack and cool upright for 15 to 20 minutes. Invert the cake and cool completely on a wire rack. Garnish with Chocolate Bow.
• Chocolate Bow: In the top of a double boiler, melt the chocolate. Let cool 10 to 15 minutes and blend in the corn syrup. Form the mixture into a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and let set overnight at room temperature. Roll out between sheets of waxed paper. Cut strips with a pastry cutter and form a ribbon. Use spools of thread covered in waxed paper to support the bow. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Generously butter a 6 and 1/2 cup ring mold or similarly sized bundt pan.
• Cream together butter and sugar.
• Add the eggs and beat until light and fluffy.
• Sift together the flour, salt and baking powder.
• Add the dry ingredients alternately with the milk to the creamed butter/sugar/egg mixture, beating well after each addition.
• Mix together the filling ingredients.
• Pour 1/3 of the batter into the prepared mold.
• Sprinkle half the filling over the batter.
• Carefully add another third of the batter.
• Sprinkle with the remaining filling.
• Add the balance of the batter.
• Bake for 35 minutes, or until tester comes out clean.
• Remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes.
• Invert and unmold cake.
• Dust with a sprinkling of confectioners' sugar through a sieve.
• Pour yourself a cup of tea and enjoy.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Thoroughly brush a 1.5 litre bundt tin with melted butter.
• Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Stir in the almond extract.
• Mix together the baking powder, flour and ground almonds. Beat in one egg at a time, adding a spoonful of the flour mixture in between. Repeat until all three eggs have been added, then fold in the remaining flour mixture and stir in the milk.
• Spoon half of the cake batter into a separate bowl and mix in the cocoa paste. Add the chocolate chips to the other half of the mixture. Add spoonfuls of each of the batters alternately to the tin and drag the handle of a teaspoon through the mixture to create a marbled effect.
• Bake for around 40 minutes and then test the cake to see if a skewer inserted into the deepest part comes out clean. The cake will take 40 - 50 mins, depending on the proportions of your bundt tin.
• Let the cake cool in the tin for 10 minutes before turning out onto a cooling rack. Once cooled, dust the cake with a little icing sugar.

Steps:

• In a bowl, blend together dry ingredients. Cream butter and sugar, then add eggs and vanilla and beat well. Next, alternate mixing the dry ingredients and the milk to the butter/sugar/eggs mixture.
• In a separate bowl, combine cocoa and sugar for the cocoa ring. Generously grease a 2-3 quart bundt pan. Add 1/3 of the batter to the pan, then sprinkle 1/2 of the cocoa ring mixture on top of the batter, and then add another third of the batter, followed by the last of the cocoa mixture, and lastly the rest of the batter.
• Be sure to keep the cocoa mixture away from the sides of the pan, otherwise it might cause the cake to tear when removing it from the pan.
• Bake approximately 45 minutes at 350 degrees. Depending on your personal oven, the bake time may be shorter or longer. Serve the cake plain, with powdered sugar sprinkled on top, or choose to drizzle chocolate sauce over the top.
