Ingredients
For the Marble Cake:
- 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup milk
- ¾ cup cocoa powder
- ¾ cup hot water
For the Whipped Chocolate Ganache:
- 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In another bowl, cream the softened butter with the sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix the cocoa powder with hot water to create a thick paste. Gently fold half of the cake batter into the cocoa mixture until well combined to create a chocolate batter.
- In the prepared pans, alternate spoonfuls of the vanilla and chocolate batters, swirling them together with a knife to create a marble effect.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the ganache, heat the heavy cream in a saucepan until it begins to simmer. Pour it over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for a few minutes. Stir until smooth and let it cool slightly.
- Whip the ganache with a mixer until light and airy, then add powdered sugar to taste.
- Once the cakes are completely cooled, spread a layer of whipped chocolate ganache between the layers, then cover the top and sides of the cake with the ganache.
- Slice, serve, and enjoy your homemade marble cake!
