Equipment
- Measuring cups
- Measuring spoon
- 9″ inch Round Cake pan
- Parchment paper
- Wire rack
Ingredients
- ½ cup of butter at room temperature
- 3 pcs of large eggs
- 1 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
- 1 tsp of vanilla extract
- 3⅓ cups 15.25 oz of white cake mix
- 1/4 tsp of salt
- 1 1/2 tsp of baking powder
- 1 2/3 cup of buttermilk
- 2 tbsp of unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, grease and line with parchment paper the baking pan. After that, set it aside.
- Afterward, place the cake mix in a bowl and whisk in with the salt and baking powder.
- Next, put the butter in a bowl of a hand or stand mixer fitted with a wire whisk attachment. Afterward, cream the butter at medium-high speed, then gradually add the sugar and whisk until fluffy for about 2 minutes. After that, scrape down the sides and the bowl’s bottom as often as needed using a rubber spatula.
- After that, slowly add the eggs one at a time at a low speed, then mix in the vanilla extract. Afterward, beat at medium-high speed till mixed. Then, as often as needed, scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl.
- Next, place the mixer running on low speed and alternately add the cake mix and buttermilk in sequence. Make sure not to scrape the corners of the bowl thoroughly with your rubber spatula and avoid overmixing.
- Afterward, scoop out 3/4 cup of the batter into another mixing bowl and mix in the cocoa powder. Then, pour the remaining batter into the greased and lined baking pan.
- Next, grab a spoon and drip over the white batter’s top. Remember to swirl the chocolate batter into the white batter to incorporate it into a marble effect.
- After that, place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Finally, remove from the oven and place in a wire rack to completely cool down.
Notes
- It is best to finish it off with chocolate ganache or chocolate frosting. Moreover, you can substitute buttermilk with a tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar whenever buttermilk is unavailable in your local supermarket. Also, make sure to measure all the ingredients precisely. Thus, it is ideal to use a kitchen scale to measure the dry ingredients, especially the all-purpose flour, accurately. In addition to that, it would be best if you spooned it into a cup. Remember to measure then level it.
- Additionally, you can store marble cake in the refrigerator for weeks. Furthermore, you can chill the cake layers in the freezer for around twenty minutes before you begin assembling your marble cake. Doing this makes it easier to frost and stack.
- To ensure that the cake layers are fluffy and tender, mix the cake batter till the ingredients are well incorporated. Moreover, keep in mind that your cake pans should have an equal amount of cake batter, especially if you put a spoonful of batter in rounds. For this reason, put a spoonful of vanilla into each cake pan. Afterward, put a spoonful of chocolate into each cake pan. After that, repeat it till you have used up all your cake batter.
- Before removing the cake from the cake pan, remember to let the cake cool on a wire rack for about thirty minutes. Hence, it will prevent the bottom of the cake from sticking to the cake pan.
