Follow the key steps for a fail-safe result

Prepare your basic cake batter
Everything starts with the making of your cake batter, which will then serve as a support for the different marbling colors. To make a homogeneous dough, start by whipping together the eggs and sugar, until you get a frothy and whitened mixture.
Now gradually add the melted butter while continuing to whisk, then gradually incorporate the flour mixed with the baking powder. Mix well until your dough is smooth and without lumps.
Split your dough in two for the marbling
The next step is to divide your mixture into two equal parts. Pour one portion into another bowl, then add the vanilla extract. Then incorporate the 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder and mix well to achieve distinct colors.

All the secrets for having a successful marble pattern: You don’t need to spread the layers in a parallel manner, on the contrary, improvise different directions to give an even more artistic look to your cake.
Cooking the Foolproof Marbled Cake
Bake your cake for 40 to 45 minutes at 180°C (th.6) in a preheated oven. Regularly monitor the baking to prevent it from burning or drying out.
