Method
- 1
Grease and breadcrumb a 1.8-liter bundt pan. Preheat the oven.
- 2
Beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the room-temperature eggs one at a time, beating well after each.
- 3
Combine the other dry ingredients except for the cocoa powder. Sift the dry ingredient mixture into the cake batter alternately with the cream.
- 4
Separate 1/3 of the cake batter into another bowl. Sift and mix the cocoa powder into it.
- 5
Pour half of the light cake batter into the pan. Spoon the dark batter on top. Add the remaining light batter on top of that.
- 6
Prick through the batter here and there with a fork. Doing this will mix the dark and light batters into a beautiful swirl.
- 7
Bake the tiger cake at 175 degrees for 50-55 minutes or until the cake is done.
- 8
Invert and unmold the cake once it has cooled slightly.
