So, what is a marble cake? A marble cake is a yellow/white cake mixed with a chocolate cake. They are mixed together in a swirling fashion that makes the cake resemble marble. Hence the name.
It is similar to a checkerboard cake in that it is a good choice for people who love both yellow and chocolate cake and can't make up their mind. Plus, it looks really cool with you cut into it.
Baked Marble Cake:
If you purchase a Marble Cake cake mix, you will get a packet of yellow cake mix and a smaller packet of chocolate cocoa. You make the yellow cake up like normal. Then you take a cup of the yellow cake and put it into a smaller bowl and mix the cocoa with it. You pour the yellow cake into your cake pan, spoon the chocolate batter on top of the yellow cake and then use a knife to swirl/cut/mix the two.
If you didn't have a marble cake mix, but are just dieing for a marble cake, you can mix a regular yellow cake up and just mix a cup of the batter with about 1 cup cocoa powder. Basically the same thing!
These are marble cupcakes that I covered with almond buttercream, followed by almond fondant and topped with little royal icing flowers.
