Chocolate & Vanilla Marble Cake

Written by Published on Updated on May 25, 2019 in Uncategorized

I have been following the trends for 2018 in regards to cooking, not only for the Greek Cuisine but all cuisines and baking…there is one that I am so interested in trying…(The Japanese Cheese Cake), but some I am thinking No, due to lack of  ingredients. 🙂  Some are just absolutely beautiful….have you seen the new trends for cupcake design just so pretty. 🙂

Due to the cold front I mentioned the other day I have not been to the supermarket and so I went back into my pantry this morning and came out with ingredients for a really nice if I may use the word Vintage recipe for Marble Cake…:)  Chocolate and Vanilla swirled together to make this simple but yet delicious cake which I think most of us do love to eat.  🙂

CHOCOLATE & VANILLA MARBLE CAKE

Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 250 grams of Butter at room temp
  • 2 1/2 cup All Purpose Flour
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Buttermilk
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 tablespoon of Vanilla Extract
  • 1/4 cup Milk
  • 4 Eggs
  • 200 grams Pure Chocolate (Bittersweeor Semi Sweet Chocolate

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl add butter, sugar and eggs and mix until combined. (my hand mixer stopped working during this process so I had to start over. I just added all the ingredients together and beat by hand).. In a separate bowl add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and whisk. Add the Vanilla extract, buttermilk, milk into the butter and sugar mixture and continue to beat until smooth. Start adding the dry ingredients slowly into the butter mixture, and continue to beat until it has become a smooth batter.
  • I used pure chocolate for this cake..
  • I popped it into the microwave for 2 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • Separate the batter into two parts…add one part into the chocolate and mix.
  • In a buttered bundt pan or tin pan, start by adding one part chocolate, then one part vanilla..Then on top of the vanilla batter top with chocolate batter, so basically you are alternating the batters.
  • Use a knife or a skewer and just swirl around so both chocolate and vanilla batter combine, but not to much but just enough as shown in the picture above…and that’s it.
  • Bake at 180 degrees for 1 hour or depending on your oven….once baked let it cool off completely and turn over on a cake platter or dish and enjoy with a nice cup of coffee or tea.

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie

    Marble cake is one of my all time favourite. Sometimes I'm half tempted to scrap my blog and start over with a 365 days of marble cakes one instead! They are so easy to bake and everyone loves them :)
