Ingredients for the Perfect Marble Cake:
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- ⅔ cup warm milk
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
How to Make Marble Cake:
- Start by beating the eggs with the sugar, butter, oil, and warm milk until well combined. Gradually add the flour, mixing until the batter is smooth. If your flour doesn’t have leavening agents, be sure to add the tablespoon of baking powder.
- Once the batter is ready, divide it into two equal parts.
- In one bowl, stir in the vanilla extract. In the other, fold in the cocoa powder until fully incorporated. You’ll have two vibrant batters ready to be swirled.
- Transfer the batters into a greased and floured cake pan, alternating spoonfuls to create the marble effect. Use a knife to swirl them gently—get creative! Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 30 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. The result is a marble cake that looks like a true work of art.
