This Marble Bundt Cake is the perfect dessert for the upcoming Mother's Day holiday! The cake is the perfect balance of vanilla and chocolate for this melt-in-your-mouth cake.
So let's get into this recipe so I can show you how it's done!
Ingredients needed for the cake:
3 c of all-purpose flour (sifted)
2 ½ c of granulated sugar
1 c of buttermilk - room temperature
1 c of unsalted butter (2 sticks) - room temperature
5 whole eggs - room temperature
2 tsps of vanilla extract
1 teaspoon of baking powder
½ teaspoon of salt
Ingredients for the swirl:
⅔ c of unsweetened cocoa powder
½ c of milk
How to make the cake:
Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt and sit it to the side. Then, using a hand or stand mixer, beat the butter and sugar together on medium speed until creamy, light, and fluffy (approximately 5 minutes).
Next, add the vanilla and mix. Add the eggs to the bowl one at a time, mixing well after each addition before adding the next egg.
Using a spoon or spatula, scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix ensuring that the batter is fully mixed together. Mix in the flour 1 c at a time, alternating with the sour cream, beginning and ending with the flour.
Pour half of the mixture into a separate bowl for the swirl. Add the cocoa powder and milk to the bowl and mix until combined.
Spray a 10-cup bundt pan with non-stick spray. Using an ice cream scoop or ¼ cup measuring cup, alternate dollops of vanilla and chocolate cake batter into the bundt pan. Use a knife or similar, swirl the batter in an S pattern.
Continue to alternate between plain and chocolate batters until both batters are gone. Do not stir.
Place the cake in the oven, set the oven to 325 degrees, and bake for about an hour to an hour and 10 minutes. The cake is done once an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool for about 20 minutes before inverting. Allow the cake to continue to cool on a wire rack. Serve and enjoy!
Tips for making the Bundt Cake:
Alternate the batters using two different utensils so that you don't blend colors into each other. I would suggest using two ice cream scoops or you can also use measuring cups.
