Content
A bread maker is a marvel of modern kitchen appliances. Anyone who owns one will, without exaggeration, say that baking any cake is a breeze, and the results exceed all expectations. Even the most complex and intricate cake is a pleasure to prepare in a bread machine! The main advantage of a bread maker is that it requires minimal time: choose a recipe, prepare the ingredients, put everything in the machine, select the mode, and the rest is a matter of technique.
Marble Cake
What could be better than a delicious, soft, and fragrant cake? That's right! A unique, marbled cake baked in a bread machine. This simple recipe will allow you to bake a culinary wonder that will amaze your family not only with its delicious taste but also with its unique, intricate design.
For the dough (* glass - 230 ml):
- wheat flour - 1 cup *
- salt - 1/2 tsp
- baking powder - 1 tsp
- granulated sugar - 3/4 cup
- butter - 5 tbsp
- chicken eggs - 3 pcs.
- carrot puree (for babies) - 1 jar
- cocoa powder - 1 tbsp
So, first, you need to prepare the dough. To do this, combine half the sugar and the egg yolks in a deep bowl or saucepan. Add the softened butter to the yolk mixture. Whisk the mixture until it rises slightly. Sift the flour and, as recommended in the recipe, mix it with the baking powder. Pour the dry ingredients into the bowl and mix until there are no lumps. The dough may be too thick, but don't worry; after you fold in the egg whites, it will reach the perfect consistency.
Beat the chilled egg whites with the remaining sugar using a mixer until stiff peaks form. This process will take about 10 minutes. Then, using a silicone spatula, very carefully and smoothly fold the beaten egg whites into the batter. Divide the mixture in half. Mix cocoa powder into the first half; this will give the cake a chocolatey hue. Mix carrot puree into the second half; this will color the batter orange.
Generously grease the bread machine's bowl with oil and remove the paddles. Using a large spoon, begin spooning the dough into the machine. First, spoon the carrot layer, as the recipe suggests, then spoon the chocolate layer directly into the center. Repeat this process until the dough is used up.
Next, turn the machine to the "muffin" setting (if available) or "bake." On average, it should take about an hour to bake.
The result is a delicious, and most importantly, uniquely colored, bread machine cake. This recipe is indispensable if you really want to surprise and delight your guests.

Believe me, this simple recipe will come in handy more than once when friends or relatives unexpectedly drop by and there's nothing left to go with your tea.
For the chocolate cupcake we will need:

- cocoa - 4 tbsp
- flour - 2/3 cup

Prepare the dough. According to our recipe, combine well-chilled eggs and granulated sugar in a deep bowl. Beat with a whisk or mixer until thick foam forms. Add the cocoa powder. Mix again and pour the mixture into a greased pan.
Next, add sifted flour, baking powder, and slightly softened butter to the same pan. Turn the bread machine on to the "muffin," "bake," or similar setting. While the dough is kneading, you can prepare the main chocolate secret of this cake.
Break the dark chocolate into small pieces and add it to the dough. Once the machine has finished mixing, remove the paddles (optional), and the cake will be ready to serve in less than an hour. The secret to this dessert's flavor is that the chocolate pieces remain intact inside, rather than being mixed into the dough.
