Marble Pound Cake 🤍🤎 Ingredients * 3 sticks (1 1/2 cups) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature * 2 3/4 cups granulated sugar * 5 large eggs, room temperature * 1 cup sour cream, room temperature * 1 tbsp vanilla extract * 3 cups all-purpose flour * 1 tsp baking powder * 1 tsp salt * 1/3 cup cocoa powder (for half of the cake batter) Vanilla Glaze * 6 tbsp butter, melted * 2 2/3 cups powdered sugar * 2–4 tbsp heavy cream * 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract Pan: Bundt pan or angel food cake pan Bake Temperature: 325°F Bake Time: 60–90 minutes Instructions 1. Preheat your oven to 325°F. 2. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. 3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. 4. Add the vanilla extract and sour cream to the butter mixture. Mix until combined. 5. Add the room-temperature eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. 6. Gradually add the dry ingredients and mix until a smooth pound cake batter forms. 7. Transfer half of the batter to another bowl. Add the cocoa powder and mix until fully combined. This will be your chocolate batter. 8. Generously spray your pan with nonstick baking spray. 9. Alternate spoonfuls of the vanilla and chocolate batters throughout the pan. 10. Use a knife or toothpick to gently swirl the batters together to create a marble effect. 11. Bake at 325°F for 60–90 minutes. Since all ovens bake differently, begin checking for doneness at the 60-minute mark. Continue baking as needed, checking periodically to avoid overbaking. The cake is done when a toothpick or knife inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. 12. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10–20 minutes. Carefully release it onto a serving plate or cooling rack and let it cool completely to room temperature. 13. To make the glaze, whisk together the melted butter, powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until smooth. 14. Pour the glaze over the cooled cake and enjoy! 🤍🖤 #marblepoundcake #poundcakerecipe #bakingfromscratch #zeetheintrovert - @zeetheintrovert
