Marmorkuchen German Marble Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a large Kugelhopf or Bundt® cake pan with butter.
• Beat butter with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and creamy. Slowly add sugar and vanilla sugar while beating constantly. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat for 5 minutes until batter is light and fluffy.
• Sift flour and baking powder together in a separate bowl. Gradually mix flour mixture into the cake batter, alternating with the milk. Add rum and lemon zest. Pour 2/3 of the batter into the prepared pan.
• Stir cocoa powder into the remaining batter until fully incorporated. Pour chocolate batter over the vanilla batter in the pan. Gently move a knife up and down through the batter in circular movements to create a marbled effect.
• Bake cake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes. Let cool slightly in the pan. Remove and place on a cooling rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour one 10 inch tube pan.
• In a large bowl, cream the butter with the sugar. Beat in the eggs, then the milk and almond extract.
• In another bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder and salt. Beat the flour mixture into the creamed mixture. Turn half of the batter into another bowl and stir in the cocoa and rum.
• Layer the light and dark batters by large spoonfuls and then swirl slightly with a knife.
• Bake the cake in at 350 degree F (175 degree C) for about 70 minutes, or until it tests done with a toothpick. Transfer to a rack to cool. Makes about 14 to 16 servings.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a bundt cake pan.
• Beat butter and sugar together, then add vanilla, eggs and salt.
• Combine flour and baking powder and stir into butter-sugar-egg mixture, alternating with the milk. Only add enough milk for the batter to drop heavily and ripping apart from a spoon.
• Fill 2/3 of the batter into the greased cake pan.
• Mix the remaining batter with cocoa, sugar and 2 or 3 tablespoons milk, until batter again drops heavily and ripping apart from a spoon.
• Pour cocoa batter on top of the light one and move a fork spiralling through the two layers, so that you get a marbled pattern.
• Bake for about 75 minutes.
