Chocolate Raspberry Marble Pound Cake

This chocolate marble pound cake is a sweet way to say hello to spring by pairing the flavor of raspberries with the chocolate. The hint of raspberry is a wonderful complement to the chocolate.

This cake gets its raspberry flavor from raspberry jam. You add some to the vanilla batter and brush the finished cake with a thin layer of the jam before glazing it with a chocolate ganache.

These cookies are similar to my orange-scented alfajores, but with a chocolate ganache coating. In addition, these cookies include a lot of whole wheat flour and are only lightly sweet to counteract the dulce de leche and the ganache.
