Three Color Marble Bundt Cake Recipe
Three Color Marble Bundt Cake Recipe – white, yellow and brown, three colors in this cool and delicious bundt cake. Great for Mother’s Day!
Happy May 1st (International Workers’ Day)!
This Three Color Marble Bundt Cake Recipe is one of my favorite childhood cakes. It is very easy to make, with ingredients you probably have in your pantry and fridge.
This cake is the perfect company for a cup of tea or coffee. You can also make it for any party, potluck or for Mother’s Day brunch.
There are two different textures in it – a light and fluffy yellow cake and spongy and a little denser white cake, separated by a layer of cocoa.
And the result looks beautiful – a marble cake. It is perfect for any party or holiday gathering. It lasts 3 days at room temperature, just make sure you wrap it in plastic wrap.
Some people find the white cake a little too spongy, but I personally think it tastes amazing. It is great for breakfast or dessert.
This Three Color Marble Bundt Cake Recipe produces a cake, that is relatively small.
I used my Nordic Ware Anniversary bundt panNordic Ware Anniversary bundt pan and the batter filled just half of it.
The trick to make the yellow and white layers, separated by a cocoa swirl it to separate egg whites and egg yolks. Then you beat egg yolks with half of the sugar and ehh whites with the remaining sugar.
You add flour + baking powder to both mixtures. Start filling the bundt pan with half of the yellow mixture, then dust with cocoa powder on top, add the white mixture, dust with cocoa powder and top with the rest of the yellow cake.
Bake, cool and dust with powdered sugar. Very simple, yet impressive!
