Chocolate marble loaf with salted caramel cream cheese frosting

A light, rich salted caramel chocolate marbled loaf with a creamy, cool cream cheese frosting and chocolate chips. What’s not to love?!

A while back, we received a hamper of French treats and amongst them was a little jar of salted caramel – the king of baking treats!

We ummed and ahhed about what to do with it, until we came up with this incredibly delicious, moist and indulgent chocolate marble cake, made with cocoa and salted caramel and topped with salted caramel cream cheese frosting. It’s as indulgent as it is delicious.

Here’s how to make this chocolate marble cake with salted caramel cream cheese frosting.

Ingredients

For the sponge:

• 200g (7 oz) baking liquid or softened margarine
• 200g (7 oz) caster sugar
• 3 medium free range eggs
• 200g (7 oz) self raising flour
• 1 tbsp cocoa powder
• 1 tbsp salted caramel

For the topping:

• 150g (5 oz) cream cheese
• 1 tbsp salted caramel (plus extra to drizzle, if you wish)
• 50g (2 oz) milk chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180C/355F (160C/320F fan). Beat the sugar and baking liquid / margarine together.

Beat in the eggs.

Fold in the flour.

Pour half of the mixture into a lined loaf tin.

Stir the cocoa and salted caramel into the remaining batter.

Pour the chocolate batter into the loaf tin.

Swirl gently with a spoon.

Bake for approximately 1 hour until a skewer comes out clean. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack.

Beat the salted caramel into the cream cheese until loosened and well combined.

Spread over the top of the loaf.

Sprinkle with the chocolate chips.

Use a serrated knife to cut into 2cm slices and serve. Drizzle with warmed caramel, if you wish.
