Today for breakfast I prepared the Marble Swirl Cake. A cloud that remains soft for days and is delicious.

Anyone who knows me knows how important it is for me to start the day sweetly with a slice of cake, a croissant, or simply homemade cookies. This way, the day takes on a different color and scent, whether it’s summer or winter. I bet if you’re reading these lines, you agree with me!

A pantry cake that in its simplicity always wins everyone over, soft but substantial, perfect for breakfast, snack, ideal for transport… try dipping it in milk or cappuccino, it’s delicious!

The breakfast cake must have fundamental requirements, it must be quick to make, with few fats, soft outside and moist inside, and finally, with this recipe, I achieved the result I wanted.

The recipe is very easy to prepare and involves two batters, one light vanilla and one dark cocoa, just put the cocoa batter in the piping bag and create a swirl to achieve the marbled and bicolored effect!

Few ingredients, and it’s also very easy to remember.

Check the pantry and get to work… I’m sure tomorrow’s breakfast will be appreciated by the whole family.

Ingredients for the Marble Swirl Cake

4 eggs (room temperature)
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 packet baking powder
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
3/4 cup corn oil (or sunflower oil)
1 pinch salt
1 packet vanillin
1 pat butter (to grease the mold edges)
as needed all-purpose flour (for dusting)

Tools

Stand Mixer
Cake Mold
Baking Paper
Sieve
Jug
Spatula
Food Scales
Piping Bag

Steps for the Marble Swirl Cake

First, preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) in static mode.
Then prepare the 9-inch (22 cm) springform pan; place parchment paper at the bottom while the sides should be buttered and floured.
Now we can prepare the cake. First, break the eggs into a bowl and start mixing with the stand mixer, but electric beaters are also fine.
(Eggs must be at room temperature).
Add the sugar and continue mixing.
Work well the eggs with the sugar.
Now with a spatula, continuing to mix, pour in the corn oil.
Add the packet of vanillin, sifted flour, and baking powder in spoonfuls in several stages, adding a pinch of salt.
Mix until you get a homogeneous batter.
Pour 3/4 of the batter into the mold.
Keep a little in the bowl where you add two tablespoons of cocoa powder and mix very well.
Take the cocoa batter and put it into a piping bag.
On the cake, make a spiral, starting from the center towards the outside.
Bake in a static oven preheated to 350°F (180°C) for 35/40 minutes, do the toothpick test, then take out and let cool completely before serving.
(I want to remind you that every oven has its timings, so check occasionally without opening the oven).
Here’s the marble swirl cake, if you wish you can dust it with some powdered sugar.
Enjoy your meal.

Advice

If you’re in a hurry in the morning, why not try preparing something the night before? This cake is very quick, so even if you’re tired, it won’t take too much energy. I recommend it, and please let me know if you try to make it.

Remember to do the toothpick test before taking the cake out of the oven, as cooking times vary between ovens.

It keeps for 3/4 days, obviously kept under a dome.
