How to Make Easy Marble Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x12 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, ¾ teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ¼ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 cup buttermilk.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Divide the batter in half. In one bowl, stir in ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder.
  6. Spoon alternating scoops of the vanilla and chocolate batter into the prepared pan.
  7. Use a knife or toothpick to swirl the batters together creating a marble effect.
  8. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
