Making a delicious marble cake is child’s play and goes very quickly. Here is the recipe for a classic marble cake:
Ingredients:#
- 200 g soft butter, cubed
- 150 g sugar
- 1 packet vanilla sugar
- 300 g flour
- 4 eggs
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 40 ml milk
- 20 g cocoa powder
Preparation:#
- First, beat butter, sugar, vanilla sugar, and salt into a creamy mixture. Add the eggs one at a time and continue beating until a smooth batter forms.
- Mix flour and baking powder and fold in alternately with 20 ml milk.
- Grease a loaf pan and dust with flour. Then add 2/3 of the batter to the pan and smooth it out. Mix the remaining batter with the 20 ml milk and cocoa powder to make a dark batter.
- Pour the dark batter over the light batter and swirl it in with a fork.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 45 minutes. Test with a toothpick.
- Remove the marble cake from the oven and let cool for 15 minutes. Then turn out onto a wire rack, flip over, and dust with powdered sugar.
Tip: For chocolate lovers, this cake tastes even better with a chocolate glaze. You can buy the glaze ready-made or make it yourself. If you want to make it yourself, you need 200 g dark bittersweet couverture chocolate. Finely chop the chocolate and melt it in a bain-marie.
Enjoy and happy baking!
