Description
A delicious and visually appealing marble cake made with a mix of vanilla and chocolate batter swirled together to create a marbled pattern. Perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
1 cup milk
2 large eggs
½ cup butter, softened
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round pan.
- Place flour, sugar, milk, eggs, butter, baking powder, vanilla, and salt into a large bowl.
- Mix slowly to moisten, then beat with an electric mixer at medium speed for about 2 minutes until smooth.
- Reserve 3/4 cup batter; pour remaining batter into the prepared pan.
- Stir cocoa into reserved batter until even in color.
- Drop chocolate batter by large spoonfuls on top of vanilla batter; swirl cocoa batter into white batter using a knife to create a marbled appearance.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30 to 35 minutes.
- Cool briefly on a wire rack before inverting carefully onto a serving plate or cooling rack. Let cool completely.
Notes
- Ensure the butter is softened for easy mixing.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the cake tender.
- Use a knife to create smooth and delicate swirls for the marbled effect.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before serving for the best texture and flavor.
