Categories     Dessert

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups sugar
1 cup butter, softened
3 1/2 cups flour
1 cup milk
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 eggs
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon espresso powder, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 10-inch tube pan. Beat sugar and butter until blended; then increase speed to high and beat until light and fluffy. Add flour and remaining ingredients except for cocoa. Beat at low speed until well mixed, scraping the sides of the bowl often. Then increase speed to high and beat for 4 minutes longer, scraping bowl as needed. Scoop out 2 1/2 cups of batter into a small bowl. Whisk in cocoa and espresso powder. Alternately layer vanilla and chocolate batter into prepared pan. It doesn't have to be perfectly layered. Using a knife, cut and twist through batter to create the swirly marble effect. Bake for 60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out. *Note: The edges of my cake started to brown after only 30 minutes so I had to wrap all the edges with foil. Cool in pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes and then run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the cake. Remove cake and place on wire rack to finish cooling.

Tips:

  • Use room-temperature ingredients: This ensures that the cake batter mixes evenly and results in a smooth, consistent texture.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This incorporates air into the mixture, making the cake light and airy.
  • Gradually add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This prevents the eggs from curdling and helps the batter to emulsify.
  • Mix in the dry ingredients in three additions, alternating with milk: This helps to prevent overmixing and ensures that the batter is evenly mixed.
  • To create the chocolate swirl, spoon about 1/3 of the batter into a separate bowl and mix in the melted chocolate: This will create a rich, chocolatey flavor throughout the cake.
  • Swirl the chocolate batter into the vanilla batter: Use a spoon or knife to create a marbled effect.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This ensures that the cake is cooked through.
  • Let the cake cool completely before serving: This allows the flavors to develop and the cake to set.

Conclusion:

This chocolate swirl marble pound cake is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist, tender crumb and rich, chocolatey flavor, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. Follow these tips to ensure that your cake turns out perfect every time.
