My daughter's and my father in-law's birthdays are a week a part so I combined them and made them a cake. My father in-law's request was a marble cake and Curious Georgie is my daughters favorite character, hence the cake below .
Ingredients for the cake
3 cups all purpose flour(sifted)
1 tbs baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
1 cup milk (at room temp)
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
2 cups sugar
4 large eggs
4 oz bittersweet chocolate(melted and cooled)
Ingredients for the Frosting
2 sticks (16 oz) of unsalted butter at room temp
5 cups powdered sugar
2 tbs vanilla extract
Preheat oven 350 degrees. Butter two 9 in spring form cake pans and dust with flour. If you don't have spring form pans line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper.
Mix all your dry ingredients (Flour, baking powder, and salt). In a cup combine milk and vanilla extract.
Using a standing mixer or a hand held mixer, beat the butter at medium speed until light and creamy. Incorporate sugar until mixture is fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, scrapping the bowl after each addition.
Incorporate dry ingredients in 3 batches, alternating with the milk/vanilla. Beat until everything is well incorporated.
Remove 2 cups of the batter and mix in the cooled bittersweet chocolate. Place the remaining batter into the pan. Place multiple "blobs" of chocolate batter on top of the vanilla batter. Take a knife and swirl through for a marble effect.
Bake for 35 minutes until a toothpick stuck in the middle comes out clean.
Let cool for 15 minutes and invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Using a wire whisk, whip the butter on medium-high speed for 5 minutes, stopping to scrape the bottom and the sides of the bowl . Reduce the speed to low and slowly add the powdered sugar 1/2 cup at a time. Add the vanilla and mix until everything is incorporated. I added green food coloring for effect.
