I was looking to recreate something akin to starbucks marble loaf the other thing was the order of the ingredients being added was a little odd to me.
Marble loaf cake.
There are two ways to create a marble effect.
This marble pound cake is tasty and beautiful.
Moist chocolate cake marbled with vanilla cake batter an easy marble cake baked in just 60 minutes.
If you line your pan carefully with foil using your knuckles not to tear it you won t have to wash the pan.
If you re feeling extra fancy you can top the cake with a bit of chocolate ganache.
The flour was the third ingredient and it made the batter like a thick cookie dough until i got.
Now that our two cake batters are ready it is time to combine them to create the marble bread.
The cake is totally delicious all on its own but if you want it to stay true to the starbucks original it will require a chocolate glaze on top.
Gently cut through batter with a knife to swirl.
If so use 1 tablespoon cocoa powder to mix the batter.
By beating the egg whites first you won t have to wash the beaters to use them again.
If you grease the pan try adding a parchment paper sling across the wide side for easy lifting.
Invert onto cooling racks.
By piping the batters using piping bags or by dropping dollops of batters into the loaf pan with a spoon or ice cream scoop.
Even easier than my chocolate cake with all the richness of my vanilla pound cake recipe this marbled loaf is a show stopper.
Carefully loosen cakes from pans.
How to create the marble effect.
A tube cake with vanilla and chocolate layers swirled together to achieve a marbled effect.
Spoon half the chocolate batter on top of yellow batter in each pan.
The whole thing bakes up into one giant rich marble loaf pound cake.
Cool in pans 5 minutes.
Bake at 350 f for 45 to 50 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Pour the remaining batter into a greased and floured 9x5 in.
You may cut down the chocolate portion to 1 3 of the batter.
A marble cake is the combination of chocolate and vanilla cakes swirled together this is a great marble cake recipe.
This is the technique i used here as i find it less messy and quicker.
The batter for this cake is thin so carefully add it to the loaf pan alternating between dollops of vanilla and chocolate batter use a long skewer or a knife to swirl the batter together bake for an hour or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Spoon chocolate batter over the top.
Run knife through batters to marble.
You can use 1 regular loaf pan 9x5 inch 1 square pan 9x9 inch or 8x8 inch or 1 round pan to make this recipe.
Pound cake does tend to be more dense than a regular cake but this pound cake recipe is nice and moist.
This pound cake recipe uses the same idea as a marble cake and then tops it with a thick chocolate frosting.
