Marble Bundt Cake that combines a rich vanilla and chocolate cake in a beautiful swirl. It's delicious and perfect for any occasion!
Ingredients:
For the Cake:
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup whole milk
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup boiling water
For the Glaze (optional):
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan to prevent the cake from sticking.
2. Make the Vanilla Batter:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar using an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Set aside.
3. Make the Chocolate Batter:
In a separate bowl, combine the cocoa powder and boiling water to make a smooth paste.
Take about 1/3 of the vanilla batter and gently fold it into the cocoa paste until well combined.
4. Assemble the Cake:
Spoon alternating layers of the vanilla batter and chocolate batter into the prepared bundt pan. You can start with vanilla and alternate with chocolate to create the marbled effect.
Once the batters are in the pan, use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the two batters together to create a marbled pattern.
5. Bake the Cake:
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean or with just a few crumbs attached.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
6. Optional Glaze:
While the cake is cooling, you can make the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl.
Once the cake is fully cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top.
Serve & Enjoy:
Slice the cake and enjoy the beautiful marble pattern and delicious flavor! This cake is perfect for any celebration or just as a sweet treat.
