Categories     < 4 Hours

Time 1h40m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups sugar
1 cup butter, softened
3 1/2 cups flour
1 cup milk
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 eggs
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F Grease a 10" tube pan.
  • Beat sugar and butter until blended; then increase speed to high and beat until light and fluffy.
  • Add flour and remaining ingredients EXCEPT cocoa. Beat at low speed until well mixed, scraping bowl often; then increase to high and beat 4 minutes longer, scraping bowl as needed.
  • Scoop out 2 1/2 cups of batter into a small bowl. Whisk in cocoa powder.
  • Alternately spoon vanilla and chocolate batters into prepared tube pan. Using a knife, cut and twist through batter to create a marble effect.
  • Bake 60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Cool in pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Then run a spatula or knife around the pan to loosen the cake. Remove cake and cook on a wire rack.

Tips:

  • Proper Ingredient Measurement: Use a kitchen scale for precise measurements of ingredients, especially for baking. Accurate measurements ensure consistent results.
  • Room Temperature Ingredients: Bring ingredients like butter, eggs, and milk to room temperature before mixing. This allows them to blend smoothly and evenly, resulting in a better cake texture.
  • Creaming Butter and Sugar: Creaming butter and sugar together until light and fluffy is essential for incorporating air into the mixture. This step contributes to the cake's rise and tender crumb.
  • Gradual Addition of Eggs: Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This prevents the batter from curdling and ensures the eggs are fully incorporated.
  • Alternating Dry and Wet Ingredients: Add the dry and wet ingredients alternately to the batter, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. This helps prevent overmixing and ensures the batter is evenly mixed.
  • Proper Baking Temperature: Preheat the oven to the correct temperature before baking. An accurate oven temperature is crucial for achieving the desired cake texture and doneness.
  • Checking for Doneness: Insert a toothpick or skewer into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs attached, the cake is done.
