Description
A moist and decadent Marble Bundt Cake that beautifully swirls together rich chocolate and classic vanilla flavors, creating a stunning dessert perfect for any special occasion.
Ingredients
3 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
2½ cups granulated sugar
1 cup buttermilk, at room temperature
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
5 large eggs, at room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
For the chocolate swirl:
⅔ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
½ cup whole milk, at room temperature
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 12-cup bundt pan with baking spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
- Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Alternately add the flour mixture and buttermilk to the batter, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix just until combined.
- In a separate bowl, combine ½ of the batter with the cocoa powder and milk. Mix until smooth to create the chocolate batter.
- Using a ¼ cup measuring cup or ice cream scoop, alternate adding dollops of vanilla and chocolate batter into the prepared bundt pan. Once all batter is added, use a knife to swirl the batters together in an "S" pattern for a marbled effect.
- Bake for 60 to 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 20 minutes. Then, invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, slice and serve. Enjoy!
Notes
- The cake stores well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- Make sure the ingredients, especially butter, buttermilk, and eggs, are at room temperature for the best consistency.
- For an extra decorative touch, dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar or drizzle it with a simple glaze.
