Marble Bundt Cake

Total Time: 1 hr 20 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 1 hr

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup butter, softened
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 3 eggs
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
• 3/4 cup milk
• 2 1/2 cups flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 cup chocolate syrup (such as quik or brown cow)
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda

Recipe

• 1 in a large bowl beat together the butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla with an electric mixer until very smooth and creamy, about 3 to 4 minutes.
• 2 while you continue the beating add the milk a little at a time.
• 3 beat for another minute or so.
• 4 in another bowl, stir together the flour and baking powder.
• 5 add this to the milk mixture-- in 3 or 4 portions-- and beat just until everything is combined.
• 6 now, grease a large (12-cup) bundt pan and pour about 2/3 of the batter into the pan.
• 7 add the chocolate syrup and the baking soda into the remaining batter, and beat with the mixer just until blended.
• 8 spoon the chocolate batter into the pan over the batter.
• 9 using a spatula or knife, gently swirl the two batters together- don't blend them, you just want a marbled effect.
• 10 bake at 325°f for 60 to 75 minutes, until a toothpick poked into the thickest part of the cake comes out clean.
• 11 allow the cake to cool for about half an hour before attempting to remove it from the pan.
• 12 finish cooling on a rack, then sprinkle heavily with icing sugar before serving.
