A classic Marble Cake featuring a tender vanilla and chocolate swirled batter, creating a beautiful marbled effect with a rich, moist texture perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Vanilla Batter

  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups (300g) granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 1/2 cups (312g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (240ml) whole milk

Chocolate Batter

  • 1/4 cup (25g) unsweetened cocoa powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare vanilla batter: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually mix in the flour alternated with milk, beginning and ending with flour, until smooth and well combined.
  2. Make chocolate batter: Remove about one-third of the vanilla batter into a separate bowl. Add the cocoa powder to this portion and stir thoroughly until the cocoa is fully incorporated and the batter is chocolate-colored.
  3. Swirl batters together: Pour the vanilla and chocolate batters alternately into a greased 9×5-inch loaf pan. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the two batters together, being careful not to overmix to maintain the marbled effect.
  4. Bake the cake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the pan in the center rack and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For best results, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before beginning.
  • Do not over-swirl the batter to preserve the marbled look.
  • You can substitute milk with buttermilk for a richer flavor.
  • The cake can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
