Best marble cake recipe from scratch.
My best yellow cake recipe calls for lots of eggs and butter as well but about double the salt.
A little extra vanilla or higher quality vanilla will round out the flavor as well.
Sift the cake flour baking powder and salt together in a large bowl.
It took about 60 tries and many months to get the recipe just right but hundreds of five star reviews later i d have to say all the testing paid off.
The eggs and butter should be room temperature the butter and sugar need to be whisked for a certain period of time etc.
Preheat oven to 350 f 177 c.
Achieving the perfect marble cake recipe from scratch is worth every step in the process i promise.
2 cups 2 tbs flour 1 1 4 tsp baking powder 1 2 tsp salt 1 1 2 sticks 12 tablespoons unsalted butter room temperature 1 cup white sugar 4 large eggs 1 tsp pure vanilla extract 1 2 cup whole milk choice of flavorings see below.
In fact that recipe was only developed because i needed a solid and reliable base for both this marble cake recipe and my pineapple upside down cake.
Next time i will use salted butter again just not so much of it and double the salt add a little extra vanilla and no extra sugar.
With a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment beat the butter on high speed in a large bowl until smooth and creamy about 1 minute.
Spray or lightly butter two 9 inch cake pans.
It is now suitable for a three layer cake.
It s a fine plain cake that gets better when you use it as the base for a two tone two flavor marble cake.
