Tuesdays with Dorie: Basic Marble Loaf Cake

Hi, my name is Becky and I basically chose not to marble this basic marble loaf cake.
Why? I have no clue.




It all started out when I decided to go against my gut feeling and turn this loaf into its peppermint version with white chocolate.  I knew I only enjoyed those flavors on occasion and I pretty much new that  that Sunday night was not one of those moments.

But I did it anyway. It was Dorie's favorite version and I had previously fallen in-low with bittersweet, white chocolate-peppermint combos like the Peppermint Bark Brownies.

I'm not sure what I are expecting to come from this post, and really my thoughts on my execution of this recipe.

Regret?
Maybe.
Distaste?
Possibly.
Contentment?
Yes.

I thought this was pretty good. The peppermint pulled out more than white chocolate, but that is okay. In Dorie's notes, she suggested to lightly marble some varieties so their flavors wouldn't meld too much. I took that advice a little to far. I've got a 1/2 and 1/2 cake, rather than a marbled one.


Get the recipe here on Carol's blog, The Bake More. Also head to the LYL post on TWD to see how others marbled their loaf cake.
