Ingredients
unsalted butter
1 cup (at room temperature)
sugar
2 cups
large eggs
4 (at room temperature)
light sour cream
2 cups
vanilla extract
2 teaspoons
all-purpose flour
4 cups
baking powder
2 teaspoons
baking soda
2 teaspoons
fine salt
1 teaspoon
bittersweet chocolate
4 ounces (chopped and melted)
dark chocolate chips
3/4 cup
white chocolate chips
3/4 cup
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and generously grease and flour a 12-cup Bundt pan, ensuring the cake releases easily after baking.
2
In a large mixing bowl, use electric beaters to cream the unsalted butter and sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy. This may take about 3-5 minutes.
3
Add the large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure a smooth batter. Then, mix in the light sour cream and vanilla extract until fully combined.
4
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and fine salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients in three separate additions, mixing gently after each addition to avoid overmixing.
5
Carefully remove 2 cups of the batter and stir in the melted bittersweet chocolate until fully incorporated. Set aside.
6
To the remaining white cake batter, fold in the dark chocolate chips. Into the chocolate batter, gently stir in the white chocolate chips.
7
To create a marbled effect, dollop spoonfuls of the dark and white batters into the prepared Bundt pan, alternating between the two. Once all the batter is in the pan, use a knife to gently swirl the batters together, but be careful not to overmix.
8
Bake in the preheated oven for 60 to 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 20 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your beautiful marble cake with a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of melted chocolate.
