Bundt Marble Cake
Every time when I can't decide whether to make a chocolate or a vanilla
cake, I will combine the two and make a MARBLE CAKE. It's actually one
batter that is divided into two portion with cocoa powder or melted
chocolate added to one portion. The marble effect is created by running a
skewer through the two batters.
Here I am using a Bundt pan so it's Bundt Marble Cake.
Ingredients:
170g Butter ( softened at room temperature)
1/4 cup Vegetable Oil
250g Granulated white sugar
4 Eggs
1 cup Whole milk ( room temperature)
1 tablespoon Vanilla extract
2 teaspoon Baking powder
310g All purpose flour
1/2 cup Cocoa powder ( good quality )
1/2 teaspoon Salt
Method:
1. Preheat oven to 160 degree C (black bundt pan),
170 C ( light bundt pan). Grease a 10 inch bundt pan.
2. In small bowl: Mix together flour, baking powder and salt. Stir well.
3. In large bowl: Whisk together the oil, butter and sugar until
creamy. Add the eggs one at a time and continue to mix until you
have a nice thick batter.
4. Add the milk and mix it in quickly.
5. Then add the flour mixture and mix it all together until it's well
incorporated. Do not over mix.
6. Pour 2/3 batter into the prepared pan and set aside.
7. Add the cocoa powder to the reserved 1/3 batter and mix it so you
have a smooth chocolaty batter.
8. Spoon the chocolate mixture all over the top of the cake batter.
Using a butter knife, make swirls ( figure 8 ) through the two batters
to create a marble effect.
9. Bake the cake for about 50 min or until a toothpick inserted in the
centre comes out clean. Do not over bake or the cake will be dry
tasting.
10. Allow the cake to cool before inverting onto a platter. Can serve
warm or at room temperature.
This cake is wonderfully rich and buttery with a moist and tender crumb.
I usually serve this cake plain so that everyone can know that it's a
marble cake. But you can dust the top with powdered sugar or cocoa
powder or cover with a Chocolate Ganache.
This cake is best the day it's made. Enjoy for afternoon tea too.
But it can keep for a couple of days at room temperature or it can be frozen.
So enjoy!
