German Marble Cake
Ingredients
  • 1 1/8 cups unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/4 cups white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla sugar
  • 4 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 5 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons dark rum
  • 1 medium lemon, zested
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
2
Rub a generous amount of butter onto the interior of a large Kugelhopf or Bundt cake pan to prevent sticking.
3
Using an electric mixer, cream butter in a large mixing bowl until it reaches a light and airy consistency. Gradually incorporate sugar and vanilla sugar into the butter mixture, beating continuously to avoid any lumps.
4
Introduce eggs one at a time into the butter mixture, blending thoroughly after each addition. Continue beating for 5 minutes to achieve a light and fluffy batter.
5
In a separate bowl, combine flour and baking powder. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the cake batter, alternating with milk to achieve a smooth consistency.
6
Add rum and lemon zest to the batter for added flavor. Pour approximately two-thirds of the batter into the prepared cake pan.
7
Mix cocoa powder into the remaining batter until it is fully incorporated. Carefully pour the chocolate batter over the vanilla batter in the pan, creating a marbled effect.
8
Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, taking 50 to 60 minutes.
9
Allow the cake to cool slightly within the pan before removing it and placing it on a cooling rack to cool completely.
