In my inevitable descent into becoming a housewife I have turned to the humble marble bundt cake. It’s a fairy typical dessert to eat in the Czech Republic and I haven’t had it in years. Hence, I present a recipe for this delicious staple of the mundane Sunday family occasion. Loosely inspired by this recipe.

Final result - Marble effect

Prep time: 15 minutes

Cooking time: 45 minutes

Ingredients for 1 bundt cake

  • 320g all purpose flour
  • 150g white sugar (yeah it’s a lot)
  • 200g vegan yoghurt
  • 100ml plant-based milk
  • 2 tablespoons baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon baking soda
  • 120g neutral oil
  • juice of 1/2 lemon / vinegar
  • 15g cocoa powder

Optionally add

  • confectioners’ sugar to decorate

Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C
  2. Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl (flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda)
  3. Add the wet ingredients (yoghurt, milk, oil, lemon juice) to a separate bowl and mix
  4. Sift the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until combined
  5. Pour about half of the batter into a separate bowl and mix in the cocoa powder
  6. Grease a bundt cake form with oil, add some flour to coat the oil and pour in the batter alternating between the white and the chocolate batter in random patterns
  7. Take a skewer and swirl it through the batter to create a marble effect
  8. Bake for 45 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean (I would start to watch it after ~35 minutes)
