Marble Cake Recipe- The flavor of this marble cake is pure old-fashioned deliciousness, despite its sophisticated appearance. This marble looks sophisticated but tastes like genuine old-fashioned deliciousness, with swirls of soft vanilla and fudgy chocolate cake, and it appeals to both youngsters and adults. Surprisingly, marble cake does not require two totally distinct mixes.
Simply combine one-third of the vanilla batter with melted chocolate and cocoa powder, and you’ve got yourself a chocolate batter! Be cautious not to over-marble the batters or the tastes will become confused; a few knife swirls about the pan will enough. This handmade cake is very delicious and buttery. A simple recipe with rich chocolate tastes. Every mouthful is rich in chocolate and sugar. It’s my favorite type of dessert since it’s tasty, distinctive, and looks very sophisticated, but it’s actually rather simple to create.

Best Marble Cake Recipe:
One of my favorite cakes is marble cake. The cake is thick, moist, and buttery, with chocolate swirls. Every bite is rich, chocolaty, and delicious. It goes well with a cup of coffee or tea, and I go for it whenever I need a fast sweet treat. This is the simplest and greatest marble cake recipe, modified from a butter cake recipe. The flavor is 5 stars!
This Marble Cake Is Delicious:
- Straightforward and simple
- wet and tender
- Cakey and soft
- Unbelievably buttery
- Birthday cake with classic status!
- superior to a box
This Marble Cake Isn’t Real:
- It is difficult to make.
- arid and bland
- retrieved from a box
- Unlike other marble cakes, this one lacks chocolate taste.
- Boring!
Ingredients:
- Cake flour makes a lighter, fluffier cake.
- Baking powder and baking soda: These ingredients aid in the rising of the cake layers in the oven.
- Salt: Balances the cake’s sweetness and accentuates the vanilla and chocolate tastes.
- Before preparing the batter, the buttermilk should be at room temperature. The buttermilk interacts with the baking soda, resulting in a soft and delicate cake.
- Oil: This helps to keep the cake moist even after it has been sitting for a few days. Use a neutral-flavored oil, such as canola or vegetable.
- Vanilla extract: The finest taste comes from pure vanilla extract.
- Cocoa powder: This is used in the chocolate cake batter as well as beaten into the icing to make it more chocolaty.
- Water: Use hot water since it will be combined with the chocolate powder. Microwave the water for 20 to 30 seconds, or until hot.
- For a luscious, buttery cake, use butter. Always use unsalted butter since the quantity of salt in salted butter varies.
- Granulated sugar: For this recipe, I used 2 cups of sugar, but keep in mind that you’ll be creating two cake layers.
- Eggs: To provide structure to the cake, the eggs must be at room temperature before creating this recipe. If you forget to lay them out ahead of time, soak them for approximately 10 minutes in a basin of warm water.
How To Make Marble Cake Recipe?
Make Vanilla Cake:
- Combine the cocoa powder, 1/2 cup of the sugar, and the water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, whisking constantly until smooth. Remove from the heat and quickly whisk in the chocolate until it is melted and the mixture is smooth. Place aside.
- Combine the buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract in a medium mixing basin. Set away the whisk. (Note that the mixture will curdle while it sits; this is normal.)
- Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and the remaining 2 cups sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or beaters. To combine, beat on low for 30 seconds. Add the softened butter and half of the buttermilk mixture and beat on low speed for 1 minute, or until moistened but still a bit crumbly.
- With the mixer on low, gently incorporate the remaining buttermilk mixture. Mix on medium for three minutes, stopping once to scrape down the edges and bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula. The batter should be light and creamy in appearance. Scrape along the sides and bottom of the basin once more to ensure an equal distribution of the batter.
Make Chocolate Cake:
- Add the chocolate mixture to approximately 2-1/2 cups of the batter in a medium mixing bowl. That’s your chocolate batter, whisked until smooth. Half of the leftover vanilla batter should be poured into a prepared Bundt pan. Top with the chocolate batter.
- Finish by spooning the leftover vanilla batter over the chocolate layer (don’t worry about entirely covering the chocolate layer).
- Swirl the batters together with a butter knife in a zig-zag motion three times around the pan. It’s acceptable if the batters don’t appear to be swirling. It is critical not to over swirl.
- Bake for 60 to 70 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Make the glaze while the cake bakes. Combine the butter, sugar, water, vanilla, and salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then lower to a low heat and continue to cook for 1 minute, or until the sugar is dissolved.
- Place the cooked cake on a cooling rack to cool. Poke about 40 holes in the bottom of the still-hot cake with a skewer or toothpick, about 3/4 of the way down. Half of the glaze should be spooned or brushed evenly over the bottom of the cake. If the glaze begins to pool on the surface, add additional holes to aid absorption. Allow the cake to cool for 30 minutes on a cooling rack.
- Place the cake on a serving dish and invert it. Brush the remaining glaze evenly over the cake’s top and sides, allowing it to soak in as you go. (Proceed carefully to allow the glaze to soak.). Allow at least two hours for the cake to rest before serving. Use a serrated knife to cut.
Tips And Tricks:
Please follow the tried-and-true recommendations below for the best results:
- Grease a cake pan liberally with butter.
- Before baking, double and stack two pans together, regardless of size. This will prevent the cake from developing a deep brown crust and will result in a softer texture.
- At the 20-minute mark, cover the top of the cake with foil. This will ensure that the cake’s top does not become too brown.
- Allow the cake to cool for 30 minutes on a wire rack before removing it from the pan. This will prevent the bottom of the cake from sticking to the pan.
Is It Okay To Use Sour Cream?
You certainly can. Sour cream adds moisture to marble cake.
In the recipe, replace the milk with the equal amount of sour cream (4 tablespoons).
How Do You Keep a Marble Cake?
I like to serve this low carb pound cake fresh, directly from the oven, but it also tastes great a few days later.
The cake should be stored in an airtight container in the pantry for up to 3 days.
This cake is freezer friendly, so you can freeze individual slices covered in parchment paper and reheat when ready to eat.
Instructions For Freezing:
Cake layers may be firmly wrapped and stored for up to 3 months, then thawed overnight in the refrigerator. Frosting may be preserved for up to 3 months in a big freezer bag. Thaw the cake overnight in the refrigerator and bring it to room temperature before icing it.
Preparation Instructions:
This cake may be stored in an airtight container for many days. When completely cool, place in a cake dome (or wrap in plastic wrap) and keep at room temperature until ready to serve.

Marble Cake Recipe
Marble Cake Recipe- The flavor of this marble cake is pure old-fashioned deliciousness, despite its sophisticated appearance. This marble looks sophisticated but tastes like genuine old-fashioned deliciousness, with swirls of soft vanilla and fudgy chocolate cake, and it appeals to both youngsters and adults.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cake flour
- 2 tsps. baking soda
- a half teaspoon of salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted to room temperature
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 2 big eggs at room-temperature
- 4 big egg yolks at room-temperature
- 1 tbsp. pure vanilla essence
- 2/3 cup buttermilk
- 4 ounces finely chopped bittersweet or semi-sweet chocolate
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177 degrees Celsius). Two 9-inch cake pans, sprayed or lightly oiled Place aside.
Make the cake as follows: In a large mixing basin, sift together the cake flour, baking powder, and salt. Place aside.
In a large mixing basin, beat the butter on high speed with a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute. Add the granulated and brown sugars and cream for 3-4 minutes on high speed. As required, scrape along the sides and up the bottom of the basin. Add the eggs, one at a time, to the mixer on low speed, followed by the egg yolks, and finally the vanilla essence. Mix on medium-high speed until everything is incorporated. As required, scrape along the sides and up the bottom of the basin. On low speed, add the dry ingredients in three additions, alternating with the buttermilk and mixing each addition just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
1 cup of yellow batter should be poured into a medium mixing basin. Melt 4 ounces chocolate in the microwave, stirring every 20 seconds, until perfectly smooth. Pour the chocolate into the reserved 1 cup of yellow batter and mix until incorporated.
Fill each cake pan with an equal layer of yellow batter. As seen in the photo above, spoon chocolate batter on top. Pour the remaining yellow batter over the chocolate. Swirl the two batters together with a knife. Don't be concerned if it's not flawless.
Bake for 22-27 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into one of the cakes comes out clean. My typical time is 24 minutes. If the tops of the cakes are browning too rapidly while baking, loosely cover them with aluminum foil. Remove the cakes from the oven and place them on a wire rack to cool fully.
Notes
Cupcakes: This recipe yields around 30 cupcakes. Simply pour a tablespoon of each batter into each cupcake wrapper, filling them only halfway. Using a toothpick, swirl the mixture. Bake the cupcakes for 20 minutes at 350°F.
9.13 Cake: This cake may be baked in one 9.13 pan for around 35 minutes, give or take. Layer the batters and stir with a knife.
