Marble Pound Cake | Perfect Marble Pound Cake is very easy to put together as well. The crumb is perfect as it should be in any  pound cake. The flavor is so rich and scrumptious, just like the Starbucks style Marble Cake. The rich buttery flavor is absolutely delicious.

As the name suggests, it is a pound cake and a traditional recipe calls for a pound of each – flour, sugar, butter and eggs. These ingredients when whisked into a thick batter, yields a beautiful crumb and an aromatic cake. No leavening agents are used in making a traditional pound cake. The air whisked into the eggs helps the cake rise well. However, I’ve used some leavening agents here today.

Let’s get started with this Marble Pound Cake | Perfect Marble Pound Cake. 

All ingredients used are to be at room temperature.

Also, I have weighed everything in grams using an electronic weighing scale.

Line a 8″X5.5″ baking tin with parchment paper. Pre-heat the oven @ 180’c. Please note that every oven works differently so adjust the temperature accordingly.

Take butter and sugar in a bowl, cream them using an electric or manual whisk.

Once they look creamy and well incorporated, add one egg at a time and whisk again until well incorporated.

Next, add the vanilla extract/ essence and whisk again.

Sieve in the flour, salt and baking powder next. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet gently.

Lastly, add the milk. Fold again.

Divide the batter into two halves. Add cocoa powder to one half and mix well.

Set it aside. Now, add the plain batter into the prepared tin. Spread it evenly.

Add the chocolate batter on top of it and swirl it around a bit.

Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for 20-25 minutes on a cooling rack before you slice it.

    Thank you for the lovely recipe.
    I am wondering if the cake will turn out fine without the milk.

    • Hi, thanks for stopping by.. I guess you must add it. Else the cake will turn pretty dry and crumbly as well. Hope this helps.
