Marble Bundt Cake

Ingredients

• 2½ cups all-purpose flour
• 2½ tsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1½ cups sugar
• 4 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup milk
• 2 tbsp cocoa powder
• 2 tbsp hot milk or hot water

Method

1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a Bundt pan.

2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

3. Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract.

5. Alternately add the flour mixture and milk, mixing until just combined.

6. Divide the batter into two equal portions.

7. Mix the cocoa powder with the hot milk until smooth, then stir it into one portion of the batter.

8. Spoon the vanilla and chocolate batters alternately into the prepared Bundt pan.

9. Use a skewer or knife to gently swirl the batters together to create a marble effect.

10. Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

11. Cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
