Chocolate Marble Cake
Looking for a sweet treat to go with your morning coffee? This vegan chocolate marble cake is tender, lightly spiced with vanilla, and swirled with cocoa for a beautiful marbled crumb.
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cup coconut sugar
- ¾ cup vegan butter
- ¼ cup sunflower oil
- 1 cup soy yogurt
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- ½ cup almond milk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ¾ tsp salt
- 3 Tbsp simple syrup
Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat the sugar with the vegan butter and oil.
- Add the yogurt, milk, and vanilla extract, and mix until combined.
- Add the flour, salt, and baking powder, and mix until creamy.
- Grease a Bundt pan with butter or oil.
- Pour 3/4 of the batter into the pan.
- Add the cocoa powder to the remaining batter, mix to combine, then pour it into the pan.
- Use a knife to swirl the two batters together.
- Bake at 180 degrees C (350 degrees F) for 50-60 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Remove from the pan and brush with simple syrup while still warm.
Notes
Swirl the two batters with just a few figure-eight passes; over-mixing loses the marble pattern. Brush the simple syrup on while the cake is still warm so it soaks in. Store covered at room temperature for up to 3 days.
