Dessert was actually a mellow affair last night. The boys ate so much food that they didn't devour dessert. Unfortunately that means I have quite a bit left. And we are in detox over here. Too much rich food - even the 17 year old informed me that he was eating "clean" all day. But just in case you need a chocolate fix or are in chocolate withdrawal, Chocolate Marble Cake to the rescue. Very good and not too sweet :)
Chocolate Marble Cake
Marble:
1/3 cup sugar
1 8oz package softened cream cheese
1 egg
Cake Batter:
1 1/2 oz unsweetened chocolate squares
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup butter
2 cups flour
1 3/4 cup sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1tsp salt
2 eggs
1/2 cup sour cream
6 oz chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 375.
For marble: combine softened cream cheese and sugar. Beat until smooth then add egg and mix well. Set aside. In small pot, melt butter, chocolate and water. Bring to a boil and remove from heat. In large bowl, combine flour and sugar. Add chocolate /butter mixture and blend. Add eggs, sour cream, baking soda and salt. Mix well and then pour into greased and floured 15 1/2 x 10 dish. (Try to use a pan bigger then a 9 x 12, if you have it). Spoon cream cheese mixture on top of batter and cut thru with a knife to make a marble effect. (Just run your knife up and down thru the cream cheese mixture) Sprinkle with chocolate chips. Bake for 25 minutes. Let cool and slice.
