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

  1. Prepare Pan
    • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • Grease and flour a Bundt pan thoroughly (or use baking spray with flour).
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients
    • In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Cream Butter & Sugar
    • In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy (about 3–4 minutes).
  4. Add Eggs & Vanilla
    • Beat in eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract.
  5. Combine Wet & Dry
    • Add the dry ingredients in 3 parts, alternating with milk.
    • Mix until just combined (don’t overmix).
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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?
