How to make Marble Cake
Mixing the Batter
- Step 1
Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Step 2
Stir in the vanilla extract.
Combining Dry and Wet Ingredients
- Step 1
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder.
- Step 2
Gradually add 2 1/2 cups of the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix until just combined.
Creating the Marble Effect
- Step 1
Divide the dough into two equal portions. Add the cocoa powder to one portion and the remaining 1/2 cup of flour to the other. Mix each portion well.
Baking the Cake
- Step 1
Grease and flour a cake pan. Pour in two spoonfuls of the vanilla batter, followed by two spoonfuls of the chocolate batter. Repeat until all the batter is used.
- Step 2
Use a skewer or knife to swirl the batters together, creating a marble effect.
- Step 3
Bake for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Step 4
Allow the cake to cool in the pan before serving.

Tips & Tricks

Do not overmix the batter to prevent a tough cake.
If the top of the cake starts to brown too quickly during baking, tent it loosely with foil.
