Ingredients:
- For the cake:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup melted unsweetened chocolate
Instructions:
- Preheat and prepare:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan.
- Combine dry ingredients:
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Combine wet ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Divide batter:
- Divide the batter in half. In one bowl, stir in the melted chocolate. Leave the other bowl plain.
- Swirl the batter:
- Spoon dollops of each batter into the prepared Bundt pan, alternating colors. Swirl the batters together with a knife or toothpick for a marble effect.
- Bake:
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool:
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Glaze (optional):
- While the cake is still warm, you can brush it with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk for a shiny finish.
Enjoy your beautiful and delicious marble Bundt cake!
