This Marble Bundt Cake is a delightful way of making the classic marble cake and is definitely a family favorite. I have always loved marble cake, ever since childhood, and keep coming back to it with very much pleasure, every now and then. This Marble Bundt Cake consists of moist vanilla and chocolate cake layers swirled in a beautiful pattern that makes it look quite sophisticated and irresistible. It makes a perfect treat alongside a cup of coffee or tea.
How to make Marble Bundt Cake.
The recipe is really easy and quick to prepare. First, you need to grease and dust with flour your bundt pan. Then you can start preparing the vanilla batter. For this bundt cake, I highly recommend using cake flour as it is more delicate. All-purpose flour might be too heavy for this recipe. Mix the flour with salt and baking powder and set aside.
Then you will have to mix together both room temperature butter and oil, sugar, vanilla extract and sour cream for extra moisture. Really love the texture the sour cream and oil bring to this bundt cake. In case you don’t have sour cream, feel free to use the same quantity of buttermilk instead, it will be as good.
Gradually incorporate the flour mixture into the butter mixture and the vanilla batter is ready.
For the chocolate batter, reserve about 2 cups of vanilla batter, and mix it with cocoa powder, more sour cream and milk. It is that easy.
Pour up to half of the vanilla batter into the bundt pan, top with the chocolate batter and cover with the remaining vanilla cake batter. Swirl with a knife and it is ready to bake. As ovens may heat slightly differently, check your cake after the first 40 minutes of baking. A toothpick inserted into the center must come out clean.
Let it cool completely and top it with your favorite icing or simply dust with some powdered sugar and enjoy!

Can this recipe be made without oil, or can oil be substituted for something else?
