Tips for Perfectly Swirled Chocolate Marble Cake

Keep Batter Consistency Right

[{ "selector": "#anim1", "keyframes": { "opacity": [0, 1] }, "delay": 0, "duration": 600, "easing": "cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)", "fill": "both" }] Make sure the chocolate and vanilla batter don't dissolve into each other while baking and stay separated.

Layer the Bases

[{ "selector": "#anim2", "keyframes": { "opacity": [0, 1] }, "delay": 0, "duration": 600, "easing": "cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)", "fill": "both" }] Layer both chocolate and vanilla batter such that it's easy to make swirl patterns.

Use a knife instead of a toothpick

[{ "selector": "#anim3", "keyframes": { "opacity": [0, 1] }, "delay": 0, "duration": 600, "easing": "cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)", "fill": "both" }] To create significant and beautiful swirls, use the pointed tip of a knife instead of a toothpick.

Be Gentle

[{ "selector": "#anim4", "keyframes": { "opacity": [0, 1] }, "delay": 0, "duration": 600, "easing": "cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)", "fill": "both" }] Do not make too many swirls so none of it is visible after baking.

Bake Immediately

[{ "selector": "#anim5", "keyframes": { "opacity": [0, 1] }, "delay": 0, "duration": 600, "easing": "cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)", "fill": "both" }] After creating swirls, bake the batter immediately without resting it.
