It's Tuesday, and our Tuesday with Dorie host this week, Carol of The Bake More, chose Dorie's Basic Marbled Loaf Cake.
It being very soon after Easter, I wasn't in the mood for chocolate, so instead of a chocolate and white version of this cake, I made a rose and white version. The white is just plain cake; the pink portion is flavoured with rose syrup and coloured with pink food colouring. I loved the effect of the rose syrup, because it made the pink portion a little chewier and more candy-like than the white portion.
I gave half each of this cake to two friends that I caught up with on Saturday (as I made the cake while watching the Royal Wedding). However, I did keep the slice shown in the photo for me.

Mine is supposed to look like yours and it doesn't. I lost my marble.
I think the idea of rose is fantastic and yours is very pretty. Mine is pink from strawberry and a bit of red food coloring (which I never use and shouldn't have) and it did my cake in.
It reminds me of spring...I think it may finally be here!!
The rose color is so pretty! I'm in the mood for chocolate though, even right after Easter.
Lovely color combination. So light and delicate looking. Thanks for baking with me. - Carol
Your rose and white version looks sweet and delicious. Great interpretation!
Looks like the perfect cake to make while watching the Royal Wedding! Such a pretty cake, it whispers 'spring'.
gorgeous - this cake reminds me of my childhood - now I want to make marbled cake - it is so much fun
I really like the idea of a rose flavoured cake. They're so pretty and light! :D
Rose is not quite my favourite flavour but your cake looks great!
I didn't use dark chocolate either, I used white chocolate and tinted half with food coloring...I will need to try your method sometime. It looks so pretty...just love the colors for this time of year....it's spring here!
I already love it when the different colours in something like this actually taste differnt, but I *really* love the idea of them having different textures too.
There is such a thing as too much chocolate. :D Your loaf is beautiful!
What a lovely cake! I've never tried anything with rose in it.
Rose?!? I am so going to make this!! I have rose syrup in the fridge and we love, love, love rose. Brilliant!
wow, looks gorgeous! What a smartidea to make a rose variety!! It looks so nice and moist!! YUM!
How pretty! I think I have rose water in the cupboard but I don't think I have used it. I did the chocolate peppermint version.
The pink looks very pretty! Nice job!
Who would have thought?! I just love looking at the variations that the TWD bakers have come up with.
It is pretty - very springy! The flavors sound perfect, too!
oh rose sounds lovely! *scribbles that down for next time*
So pretty in pink! I was looking forward to seeing all the different combinations this week and this is a great one.
Ciao ! I love your rose choice ! Nice idea to remember for the future ! Baci
Such a pretty, delicate-looking cake! I'd love to try all the flavors.
