German Marble Cake Recipe
This is a quick and easy recipe for a soft, spongy yet moist Marble cake.
I like to think of this as my ’emergency’ or ‘last minute’ cake. Why? Well, the ingredients are simple enough that I always have them available at home, so that when, at short notice, guests are expected for tea/coffee or we have to attend a birthday party at the last minute, I always have an easy but elegant cake at hand.
I learned the technique to make a nicer marbling from my mother-in-law. I do not swirl the batter with a knife or fork, I just tap it on the counter every time I add a layer and this technique; I found, makes better and cleaner swirls.

INGREDIENTS
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter - - room temperature
- 1 3/4 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2/3 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon (or 1oz) cocoa powder
INSTRUCTIONS
- Grease and line a 9x5inch (22x13cm) loaf pan or grease and flour a 20cm bundt pan. Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C.
- Combine together the flour, baking powder, and salt and set aside. Dissolve baking soda in buttermilk and set aside.
- In the bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add and beat eggs, one at a time, until well combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl from time to time. Add vanilla extract. Add half of the flour mixture then the buttermilk and then the other half of flour mixture. Mix well. Set aside 1/3 of the batter.
- In a smaller bowl, mix cocoa and 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons boiling water until smooth. Add the reserved 1/3 batter to the cocoa mixture and mix well.
- Spoon vanilla batter into the prepared pan to form the first layer then alternate with a thin layer of chocolate batter. Lightly tap the pan on the counter surface 2-3 times every after addition of a layer. Repeat this process until all batter are used up. This will create a cleaner marble effect than swirling a knife through the batter.
