How to Make Nannie's Marble Cake
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan or 6 muffin tins.
- Cream together ¾ lb (3 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 6 large egg yolks, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, and the zest of 1 lemon until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour and 1 heaping teaspoon baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- In a clean bowl, beat 6 large egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the batter until just combined.
- Reserve 2 cups of the batter for the chocolate mixture.
- **Chocolate Mixture:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 3 heaping teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and 2 heaping tablespoons sour cream.
- Stir in the reserved 2 cups of vanilla batter until well combined.
- Layer the vanilla and chocolate batter into the prepared pan, alternating spoonfuls of each until the pan is about ¾ full.
- Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Check after 60 minutes to ensure it's not browning too quickly.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, frost with your favorite frosting or dust with powdered sugar.
