Ingredients to Create Cake Magic
Before we dive headfirst into this fluffy cloud of deliciousness, let’s gather our supplies. You wouldn’t want to bake a cake with a missing ingredient, right? Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions for a Marvelous Marble Cake
Now that you have your ingredients prepped and ready, let’s get down to business. Follow these steps to create your own marble cake masterpiece:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan. Get that oven warmed up like it’s ready for a summertime pool party!
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. This is where the magic begins.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Stir until everything is just combined. Don’t be a over-mixer; we want fluffy, not tough!
- Now, divide the batter in half. In one half, mix in the cocoa powder until fully combined. You should have two delectable batters: one light and one dark.
- Pour alternating spoonfuls of each batter into the prepared pan. Use a knife to gently swirl the batters together, creating a marble effect that will make your cake Instagram-ready!
- Bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Your kitchen is about to smell incredible!
- Once baked, let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it onto a wire rack to cool completely. Patience, my friend, patience!
And there you have it! A classic marble cake that’s as beautiful as it is delicious. Share it with friends, family, or just yourself (no judgment here). Happy baking!
