The classic marble cake is vanilla and chocolate, swirled together to give the cake a marbled effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A marble cake can be baked in a loaf cake pan for an easy, convenient marble loaf cake that can be sliced into slabs for snacks during the week. You can also bake marble cakes in bundt pans to make more ornate cakes that can be glazed, drizzled with chocolate ganache, or even frosted.<\/p>\n\n\n[feast_advanced_jump_to]\n\n\n<h2 id=\"ingredients-you-will-need-to-make-marble-loaf-cake\"   class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ingredients You Will Need to Make Marble Loaf Cake<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This chocolate and vanilla marble cake recipe is based on an Anna Olson recipe.

If using salted butter, please adjust the amount of salt to avoid the cake being too salty<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>sugar<\/strong>\u2014I used granulated sugar for this marble cake so that the vanilla portion of the marble cake had the cleanest vanilla flavour, without the interference of molasses notes from brown sugar<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>flour<\/strong>\u2014I used bleached all-purpose flour though unbleached will likely work fine<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>eggs<\/strong>\u2014I bake with large eggs. Avoid using smaller or larger eggs as this may affect the texture of the cake and how it rises<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>vanilla<\/strong>\u2014use pure <a href=\"https:\/\/bakeschool.com\/how-to-make-vanilla-extract\/\">vanilla extract<\/a>. If using artificial, you may have to adjust the quantity because the flavour is stronger.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>chocolate<\/strong>\u2014use a dark chocolate that is not too sweet and with a high percent of cocoa solids (around 70 %). Do not use chocolate chips as they don't melt well and they may make the cake too sweet<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>sour cream<\/strong>\u2014please use full-fat sour cream (the sour cream I use is 14 % fat) for the best flavour and texture. Marble cakes made with sour cream are a little more moist <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>leavening<\/strong>\u2014you will need baking powder for this cake. Please read about <a href=\"https:\/\/bakeschool.com\/kitchen-geekery-baking-soda-vs-baking-powder\/\">baking soda versus baking powder<\/a> if you are unsure how they differ.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>salt<\/strong>\u2014I bake with <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Diamond Crystal Fine Kosher Salt\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3Yg6ygA\" data-linkid=\"40340\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Diamond Crystal Fine Kosher salt<\/a>. If using regular table salt, please add half the amount or the cookies may be too salty<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Please see the recipe card for the complete list of ingredients and quantities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"substitutions-and-variations\"   class=\"wp-block-heading\">Substitutions and Variations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Yogurt<\/strong>\u2014If you want to make this recipe, but you don't have any sour cream, you can still make this marble loaf cake with cr\u00e8me fra\u00eeche (if you can find it) or Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. Preferably, go for Greek yogurt with a higher percentage of fat (9 % fat, if not more), though this recipe would also work out with lower fatGreek yogurt. Opt for an unflavoured plain Greek yogurt, as opposed to vanilla yogurt, if possible.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Vanilla<\/strong> is a key component in a classic marble cake recipe, adding a lot of depth to the vanilla swirl of cake, without which the cake may taste bland or even eggy. <a href=\"https:\/\/bakeschool.com\/how-to-bake-with-vanilla\/\">If you don't have vanilla, an alternative would be bourbon or rum<\/a> to replace those musky woodsy notes. You can add a few drops of almond extract to the vanilla batter or peppermint extract to the chocolate batter. You can add chopped nuts or chocolate chips.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Spices<\/strong>\u2014You can also incorporate sweet spices, cinnamon, for example, would be great in the chocolate batter!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chocolate orange marble cake<\/strong> either by adding orange zest\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>at the very beginning of the recipe when you cream together the butter and sugar. In this way, both the chocolate and vanilla cakes would be flavoured with orange OR<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>to only half the vanilla batter. This way, only the vanilla portion of the marble cake will have an orange flavour. So, when you split the vanilla cake batter in two: add melted chocolate to one half of the cake batter, and add orange zest to the other half of the cake batter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"how-to-make-marble-cake-step-by-step\"   class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Make Marble Cake Step-By-Step<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some people overcomplicate marble cake recipes by making two separate batters and then swirling them together. So they make a chocolate batter and then they make a vanilla batter separately, both from scratch. Then they swirl them together in a cake pan. That's too much work if you ask me!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I prefer to start with one sour cream vanilla cake batter, which you split in two after it's made. At that point, you flavour half the batter with chocolate.

Sour cream and other acid sources help to reduce gluten development when you mix the flour into the cake batter, leading to a more tender, moist cake with a softer mouthfeel. This <a href=\"https:\/\/bakeschool.com\/a-cinnamon-chocolate-chip-bundt-to-celebrate-national-bundt-day\/\">cinnamon chocolate chip bundt cake made with sour cream<\/a> is a perfect example of that.&nbsp;Sour cream is an acidic dairy product with roughly 14 % fat content, so it adds richness and flavour, but also reduces gluten formation leading to a more tender, soft loaf cake. You can also use cake flour (or a lower protein wheat flour) instead of all-purpose flour for a more tender, lighter crumb. The lower protein content will also contribute less gluten to the cake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" data-pin-description=\"Learn how to make the best marble cake with sour cream to create a tender, moist pound cake that is chocolate and vanilla flavoured.

If this happens, you can use a blow dryer or heat gun and warm the outside of the mixer bowl to help emulsify the ingredients. Take the time to obtain a smooth, creamy, velvety, properly emulsified mixture before adding the dry ingredients You must heat the mixture <strong>before<\/strong> adding the flour, sour cream, and chocolate for this to work. <\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1737499971393\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How do you store marble cake?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">This marble cake will store well at room temperature, wrapped tightly for 3-4 days. You can also freeze it whole, wrapped tightly with plastic wrap, and then a layer of aluminum foil to better protect it. The day before serving, defrost the marble cake in the fridge, then slice it to serve at room temperature.<br\/>You can also freeze this marble cake sliced so that you can defrost individual pieces, either by staggering the pieces all wrapped together so that they can easily be separated when frozen OR individually wrapping each slice before freezing. I like to defrost individual slices in the microwave for up to 30 seconds on a small plate.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1737560127664\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Why does my marble cake have holes in it?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">In some cases, you may see \"tunneling\" which is elongated holes that cross through the crumb of the cake. These come from overmixing the flour: gluten develops and the cake traps air bubbles (kind of how bread does). But in the case of marble cakes, you likely see holes caused by pockets of air: if the batter is thick (like this pound cake batter) and there are pockets of airs created as you layer the chocolate and vanilla cake batter in the cake pan. Swirling the batter gently with a knife will help release those pockets, as will pressing and smoothing the batters at every step will help, but ultimately, a few may be unavoidable.

If using regular table salt, add half the amount or the recipe may be too salty!<\/li>\n<li>Use dark chocolate with a high percentage of cocoa that isn't too sweet. I recommend Cacao Barry Ocoa chocolate, which is a 70% dark chocolate that is sold in 1 kilo resealable bags in IGA grocery stores in Quebec and online at Vanilla Food Company.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Yogurt substitution for sour cream<\/strong>\u2014If you want to make this recipe, but you don't have any sour cream, you can still make this marble loaf cake with cr\u00e8me fra\u00eeche (if you can find it) or Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. Preferably, go for Greek yogurt with a higher percentage of fat (9 % fat, if not more), though this recipe would also work out with lower fatGreek yogurt. Opt for an unflavoured plain Greek yogurt, as opposed to vanilla yogurt, if possible.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chocolate orange flavour marble cake\u2014<\/strong>to do this, add orange zest either:\n<ul>\n<li>at the very beginning of the recipe when you cream together the butter and sugar. In this way, both the chocolate and vanilla cakes would be flavoured with orange OR<\/li>\n<li>to only half the vanilla batter. This way, only the vanilla portion of the marble cake will have an orange flavour. So, when you split the vanilla cake batter in two: add melted chocolate to one half of the cake batter, and add orange zest to the other half of the cake batter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>For the cake pan,<\/strong> I have two recommendations of pans that I like to use:\n<ul>\n<li>Oxo Good Grips Non-stick Pro loaf cake pan (available on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/OXO-Good-Grips-Non-Stick-Loaf\/dp\/B015CQZOCA\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1545072101&amp;sr=8-3&amp;keywords=oxo+loaf+pan&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=kitch02-20&amp;linkId=736e27dec0c9cb46ad6431fca01ca7f7&amp;language=en_US\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Amazon<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li>Nordic Ware Aluminum 1 pound Commercial loaf pan (available on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Nordic-Ware-Natural-Aluminum-Commercial\/dp\/B000OSNQXQ\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?s=kitchen&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1522364879&amp;sr=1-28&amp;keywords=loaf+pan&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=kitch02-20&amp;linkId=bf14485f196b2f286ac81cdf9bf29c0a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Amazon<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Storage: <\/strong>This marble cake can be frozen whole, wrapped tightly with plastic wrap, and then a layer of aluminum foil to better protect it.
