MARBLE CAKE

After many, many versions of this Marble Cake, I’m so excited to share the final one with you. I’ve gotten lots of requests for a Marble Cake lately, so I knew I needed to share this recipe as soon as I had it right. I even went to my Instagram Stories to ask what makes a good Marble Cake, so that I could be sure to incorporate everything.

I have to say this cake is all that we want it to be – moist, has distinctly chocolate and vanilla flavored cake and well balanced between the two flavors. Plus, both the chocolate and vanilla cake batters come from the same batter, making it quick and easy to put together. Love it!


HOW TO MAKE MARBLE CAKE
So to get started making this Marble Cake, you’ll make the vanilla cake batter. A combination of butter and vegetable oil are used to add both flavor and moisture to the cake. Butter adds the flavor you really love in a vanilla cake, while oil adds the ever important moisture.

The butter, oil and sugar are all creamed together until nice and fluffy, then the eggs are added. I love that this batter uses whole eggs, so there aren’t any egg yolks or whites left over that you’re either throwing away or trying to find a use for.

Next up is the vanilla extract and buttermilk, which are added in between the two additions of the dry ingredients. I love the extra flavor and tenderness that the buttermilk adds, but it could be replaced with regular milk, if you prefer.
