Marble Bundt Cake Recipe
Ingredients
For the Cake Batter:
- 2 ½ cups (300 g) all-purpose flour
- 2 ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup (230 g) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups (400 g) granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk (or buttermilk for extra richness)
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup (25 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp milk (for chocolate batter)
Optional Glaze:
- 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar
- 2–3 tbsp milk or heavy cream
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare Pan
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour a Bundt pan thoroughly (or use baking spray with flour).
- Mix Dry Ingredients
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- Cream Butter & Sugar
- In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy (about 3–4 minutes).
- Add Eggs & Vanilla
- Beat in eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract.
- Combine Wet & Dry
- Add the dry ingredients in 3 parts, alternating with milk.
- Mix until just combined (don’t overmix).
- Make Chocolate Batter
- Transfer about 1 ½ cups of the batter into a separate bowl.
- Stir in cocoa powder and 2 tbsp milk until smooth.
- Layer & Marble
- Spoon half of the vanilla batter into the prepared Bundt pan.
- Add spoonfuls of chocolate batter on top, then the remaining vanilla batter.
- Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the batters together for a marble effect.
- Bake
- Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Glaze (Optional)
- Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
- Drizzle over the cooled cake.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients for the best texture.
- Don’t over-swirl the batter, or the marble pattern won’t show well.
- You can also melt 2 oz (55 g) chocolate and add it to the chocolate batter for extra richness.
Would you like me to also give you a chocolate ganache drizzle version of this Marble Bundt Cake (instead of simple glaze) for a more decadent look?
