Marble cupcake recipe from scratch.

Heat oven to 350ºf. Lucky for both you and me these cupcakes are a snap to make. First you do not have to make a vanilla cupcake batter and a chocolate cupcake batter. In fact that recipe was only developed because i needed a solid and reliable base for both this marble cake recipe and my pineapple upside down cake.

1 4 teaspoon fine salt. 1 1 2 teaspoons baking powder. What you re gonna do. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.

Rather you ll simply make my trusted vanilla cupcake recipe and add cocoa powder to part of its batter. Sift the cake flour baking powder and salt together in a large bowl. The eggs and butter should be room temperature the butter and sugar need to be whisked for a certain period of time etc. Then pop the layers into the preheated oven for 34 35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Try to create the lines using one continuous motion going up and down and then side to side. Grease and flour three 8x2 inch round cake pans. Sift flour salt and baking powder together. I highly recommend following every step as written.

With a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment beat the butter on high speed in a large bowl until smooth and creamy about 1 minute. Spray or lightly butter two 9 inch cake pans. 2 large eggs at room temperature. Line 12 cup regular muffin tin with paper cupcake liners.

2 cups 2 tbs flour 1 1 4 tsp baking powder 1 2 tsp salt 1 1 2 sticks 12 tablespoons unsalted butter room temperature 1 cup white sugar 4 large eggs 1 tsp pure vanilla extract 1 2 cup whole milk choice of flavorings see below. Repeat with remaining cake layers. I made this for a co worker s baby shower cake and brought sample cake made from this recipe and from a very traditional marble cake recipe to the office for them to pick their favorite. This recipe was the unanimous favorite.

It took about 60 tries and many months to get the recipe just right but hundreds of five star reviews later i d have to say all the testing paid off. Place a piece of parchment in the bottom of each pan. It s a fine plain cake that gets better when you use it as the base for a two tone two flavor marble cake. Preheat oven to 350 f 177 c.
