HOW TO MAKE MARBLE CAKE

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 180ºC (350ºF). Grease a bundt cake pan with butter and dust the inside of the pan with some flour (hold and rotate the pan so that the flour coats all surfaces).

Step 2: Using a stand mixer fitted with whisk attachment, beat the sugar, eggs and the butter until obtain a homogeneous mixture. Add the lemon zest, vanilla extract and mix for a little more. Reduce the mixer speed to low, add the flour and the baking powder and beat until a homogeneous and creamy mixture.

Step 3: Divide the batter in two parts. In one of the parts beat the chocolate powder for 2 to 3 minutes until it's nicely incorporated. In the cake pan, pour the batter alternately with a spoon, one with chocolate and the other with the remaining cream and so on until finish the batter. Marble cake batter on a bundt cake pan

TIPS FOR MARBLE CAKE

1. When preheating the oven, make sure you have all ingredients ready to start making the cake.

2. Place the oven rack in the middle. This allows the hot air to circulate evenly around the batter, resulting in even cooking.

3. When placing the cake batter in the oven, the oven should not be too hot, if it is, the cake will rise too quickly and there will be no time for the inside of the cake to cook at the same speed (what often happens is the cake sinks in the middle). If the oven is too hot, leave the oven door open until the temperature drops a little.

4. Never open the oven door while the cake is baking. The kitchen temperature is always lower than the oven temperature, what will happen is that the oven temperature will drop and the risk of the cake sinks in the middle increases.

5. The first thing to do before taking the cake out of the oven, is to stick a toothpick in the center of the cake. If it's dry, it's cooked. Turn off the oven and leave the cake in the oven for another 5 minutes.

6. Do not open the oven door all the way, leave the door open about 10 to 15 centimeters (4 inches to 6 inches) and wait another 5 or 10 minutes so that the heat enters the kitchen and there is no temperature shock that causes the cake to collapse (the time depends on the season of the year, if it is summer leave it for about 5 minutes, if it is winter 10 minutes).
