Marble Pound Cake offers a delightful combination of rich chocolate and vanilla flavors, perfect for summer gatherings and afternoon indulgence.
Prepare unsalted butter, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, whole milk, and cocoa powder for this classic treat.
Cream butter and sugar until fluffy, then beat in eggs one at a time. Divide the batter in half and mix cocoa powder into one half, while incorporating vanilla extract into the other.
Layer the vanilla and chocolate batters alternately in a loaf pan and use a knife to swirl them together gently for a marbled effect.
Bake the cake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 50-60 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the Marble Pound Cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve at room temperature.
Store any remaining cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, ensuring it retains its moisture and flavors.
Indulge in the rich flavors of chocolate and vanilla with Marble Pound Cake, a timeless dessert perfect for summer enjoyment.
