Marble Loaf

Densely textured cakes such as loaves and Bundt cakes are my favorite kind of cakes. Among all the loaf cakes, marble cakes have the trophy of being beautiful and delicious, and being a perfect coffee cake. This marble loaf is very delicious and has the most beautiful swirls in each slice.

About This Recipe

• This marble loaf does not require any fancy ingredients. There are two batches of batters that go into this loaf, the vanilla batch, and the chocolate batch.
• The texture of this loaf is the fluffiest and most tender you can imagine 🙂
• The chocolate part will not be dense after baking and is as tender and moist as the vanilla part.
• This recipe uses vanilla paste for the vanilla part, however, if you don't have the vanilla bean, vanilla extract is fine. It is just the vanilla bean has more aroma and flavor.

• For the chocolate part, we need both melted chocolate as well as cocoa powder. Chocolate has to be Baker's Chocolate. DO NOT USE CHOCOLATE CHIPS. Also for the cocoa powder, use unsweetened Cocoa Powder.
• I use ⅓ cup apple sauce. What apple sauce does is, acts like a moisturizer or tenderizer in the recipe just like the fat content. It also adds to the natural sweetness of the cakes.

How To Make The Marble Loaf

• Sift the dry ingredients and save for the next step.
• Using a mixer set on the whisk attachment, beat the oil, eggs, apple sauce, sugar , and the vanilla paste. This step is very important because this is when all the air bubbles are incorporated into the cake. Beat about 5 minutes.
• Now we have only the orange juice and the dry ingredients. Using a spatula, mix in half of the orange juice alternating with the dry ingredients in two passes. After adding all the dry ingredients, and the orange juice, put the bowl back on the stand mixer and beat for 15 second. DO NOT OVERMIX.
• Now lets make the chocolate batter. Melt the chocolate, add the cocoa powder, sugar and the hot water and mix until smooth and lump-free.
• Add 0ne cup and a half of the vanilla batter to the chocolate batter and only mix until combined. DO NOT OVERMIX.
• Pour half a cup of the vanilla batter in the pan, then spoon the chocolate batter over the vanilla batter, and repeat until both batters are used.
• At the end with a toothpick mix the two batters by making swirls. Do not mix completely. Bake and enjoy.
