Testing for Doneness
Marble cake is a classic cake that can be made with a variety of different cake mixes. For this recipe, we’ll be using a yellow cake mix.
When baking a cake, it’s important to test for doneness so that you don’t overcook or undercook it. There are a few different ways to test for doneness.
One way is to insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is done.
Another way is to press lightly on the center of the cake. If the cake springs back, it’s done.
Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool before frosting.
To make the marble cake, start by mixing together the yellow cake mix according to the package directions.
Then, add in 1/2 cup of cocoa powder and mix until combined.
Next, pour half of the batter into a separate bowl.
To the batter in the first bowl, add in 1/4 cup of milk and mix until combined.
To the batter in the second bowl, add in 1/4 cup of coffee and mix until combined.
Now, it’s time to marble the cake batter. To do this, spoon the chocolate batter and the vanilla batter into the prepared pan, alternating between the two. Then, use a knife to swirl the batters together.
Bake the cake according to the package directions.
Once the cake is done, let it cool before frosting.
To make the frosting, start by mixing together the butter and confectioners’ sugar until light and fluffy.
Then, add in the cocoa powder and mix until combined.
Next, add in the milk and mix until the desired consistency is reached.
Finally, spread the frosting over the cooled cake.
And that’s it! Your marble cake is now ready to enjoy.
