Moist Marble Cake

Ingredients
1  1/4 cups cake flour
1 package instant Vanilla Pudding
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
3 eggs, room temperature
1  1/2 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup milk, room temperature
1/3 cup unsweetened dark cocoa powder
1/3 cup hot water

Directions
Preheat over to 350 degrees
Sift dry ingredients together in medium bowl except the sugar

In a larger bowl mix sugar, eggs & vanilla extract
Now mix in your milk and slowly add your dry mixture until smooth

In small bowl mix dark cocoa powder and 1/3 cup hot water until smooth.  Add about 1/3 of your cake batter and blend until smooth.  You just created your marbling batter.

Now spray your baking pans with a baking spray with flour.  Divide your yellow cake batter between your pans.  Now take a large spoon and spoon dollops of your marbling mixture in various places on your yellow mixture.  Then take a knife and rake in random motions from dark to light to spread your marbling throughout your yellow mixture.

Bake for 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.  Let cakes cook completely before attempting to apply your icing.

4 tablespoons heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla
