OLD-FASHIONED MARBLE BUNDT CAKE



Old-Fashioned Marble Bundt Cake image

Provided by Dan Langan

Categories     dessert

Time 3h

Yield one 12-inch Bundt cake (16 servings)

Number Of Ingredients 15

Nonstick baking spray with flour (see Cook's Note)
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, left at room temperature for 20 minutes
2 3/4 cups (550 grams) sugar
1 teaspoon fine salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup vegetable oil
6 large eggs, at room temperature
3 cups (360 grams) cake flour
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup buttermilk
1/3 cup (35 grams) Dutch-process cocoa powder
1 tablespoon sugar
Pinch baking powder
3 tablespoons very hot water

Steps:

  • For the vanilla batter: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Generously spray a 12-cup Bundt pan with the baking spray.
  • Combine the butter, sugar, salt, baking powder, vanilla and oil in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed for 4 minutes. Stop and scrape the bowl and paddle with a rubber spatula. Add 2 of the eggs at a time, beating on medium speed for 30 seconds after each addition. Scrape the bowl.
  • Add half of the cake flour and mix on low speed just until combined. Add the cream and buttermilk and mix again on low speed just until combined. Scrape the bowl.
  • Add the remaining cake flour and start mixing on low speed to combine, then increase the speed to medium and beat for 4 minutes.
  • For the chocolate batter: Transfer 2 cups of the vanilla batter to a medium bowl. Add the cocoa, sugar and baking powder and stir with a fork or small whisk until completely combined. Add the hot water and stir slowly until completely combined.
  • Pour about half of the vanilla batter into the prepared pan. Dollop about half of the chocolate batter on top. Repeat with the remaining vanilla and chocolate batters. Run a skewer or butter knife through the pan to slightly swirl the 2 batters together.
  • Bake until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs, 65 to 70 minutes. The cake will rise to fill the pan and will settle slightly once removed from the oven. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 30 minutes then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients: This will help the cake batter mix together more smoothly and evenly.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will incorporate air into the batter, making the cake lighter and more tender.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Stir in the dry ingredients gradually: This will help prevent the batter from becoming lumpy.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Marbled pecan pound cake is a delicious and classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist and flavorful crumb, rich pecan filling, and creamy frosting, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. Follow these tips to ensure that your marbled pecan pound cake turns out perfect every time.
