Description
Marble chocolate Bundt cake is a rich, velvety dessert featuring a marbled pattern of chocolate and vanilla batters. This moist and visually stunning cake is perfect for any occasion, offering a delightful blend of flavors.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
 - 2 teaspoons baking powder
 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
 - 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
 - 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
 - 2 cups granulated sugar
 - 4 large eggs
 - 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
 - 1 cup whole milk
 - 1/2 cup boiling water
 - 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate, melted (for the chocolate batter)
 
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan, or use a non-stick Bundt pan with a light spray of cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
 - In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
 - Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
 - Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
 - Divide the batter evenly into two bowls. In one bowl, mix in the melted semi-sweet chocolate until fully incorporated.
 - Starting with the vanilla batter, spoon alternating dollops of the chocolate batter into the Bundt pan. Continue layering the batters, then use a butter knife or skewer to gently swirl the batters together to create a marbled effect.
 - Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
 - Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before carefully inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
 
Notes
- For an extra indulgent touch, top the cooled cake with chocolate ganache glaze.
 - Feel free to add fruit like raspberries or dried cherries for extra flavor and texture.
 - For a spiced version, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the vanilla batter.
 - If you prefer nuts, fold in chopped walnuts or pecans into the batter for added crunch.
