Chocolate Ginger Marble Cakes: In step 1 of the cake recipe, use two 6-cup loaf pans instead of tube pan; add 1 tablespoon ground ginger to flour mixture. In step 2, decrease chocolate to 4 ounces. In step 4, fold only 1/2 of batter into melted chocolate; omit cranberries. In step 5, alternately spoon the two batters into prepared pans; swirl. Bake 60 to 65 minutes. Follow steps 5 and 6 to cool and glaze. Garnish with strips of candied ginger, if desired.
