Marble Bundt Cake

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:

  1. Preheat and prepare:
    • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan.
  2. Combine dry ingredients:
    • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Divide batter:
    • Divide the batter in half. In one bowl, stir in the melted chocolate. Leave the other bowl plain.
  6. 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.
  7. Bake:
    • Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool:
    • Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. 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.
