Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.25 cups hot water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch bundt pan or two 9-inch round cake pans.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Reduce the mixer speed to low and alternately add the dry ingredients and the milk to the wet ingredients. Start and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
In a small bowl, mix the unsweetened cocoa powder, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and hot water until smooth and glossy to create the chocolate fudge mixture.
Divide the prepared batter into two bowls. Add the chocolate fudge mixture into one bowl and gently fold until fully incorporated.
Using a spoon, alternate dollops of vanilla and chocolate batters into the prepared pan. Use a skewer or butter knife to gently swirl the batters together for the marble effect. Do not over-swirl.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes in the pan. Then carefully invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, slice and serve your Special Marble Fudge Cake. Enjoy!
