Chocolate and vanilla marble cake is a classic dessert that combines the rich flavors of chocolate and the subtle sweetness of vanilla in a beautifully marbled pattern. Perfect for any occasion, this cake is easy to make and sure to impress your family and friends.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 9-inch (23-cm) loaf or bundt pan with the 1 tablespoon of butter. You can use a bit of flour to lightly coat the greased pan if desired. This will help ensure the cake comes out easily after baking.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the 1 cup of sugar and the 1 tbsp of butter.
- Cream together until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
- Add the 2 eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Stir in the 1 tsp of vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the 2 cups of self-raising flour to the mixture, alternating with the 1 cup of milk. Begin and end with the flour.
- Mix until just combined to avoid over-mixing, which can make the cake tough.
- Divide the batter into two equal portions. In one portion, gently fold in the 2 tablespoons of dry cocoa powder until fully incorporated.
- Spoon the vanilla and chocolate batters alternately into the prepared baking pan. You can create a marbled effect by swirling a knife gently through the batter. Be careful not to over-mix.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- The baking time can vary based on your oven and the type of pan used, so start checking around the 45-minute mark.
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
- Then invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cake is completely cool, you can optionally dust it with the 1 cup of powdered sugar for a finishing touch.
- Slice and serve the cake with your favorite beverage, and enjoy the delightful blend of chocolate and vanilla flavors!
Tips:
- Preheat your oven to the correct temperature before you start mixing your ingredients to ensure even baking.
- Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before you begin for a smoother batter.
- To create the marble effect, drop alternating spoonfuls of vanilla and chocolate batter into the cake pan, and then swirl gently with a knife or skewer.
- Do not overmix the batter when creating the marble effect to preserve the distinct colors and flavors.
- Use a toothpick to check for doneness; it should come out clean when inserted into the cake.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Congratulations! You've successfully made a delightful chocolate and vanilla marble cake. Enjoy each swirl of flavor with every bite. This cake is perfect for any gathering or just a sweet treat for yourself. Happy baking!
