Ingredients Selection

  1. The butter

Butter has the big influence of the taste of cake. If you use the salted one, the cake will be salty yet sweet. It’s quite weird taste for the cake, right? Choose the unsalted one for the recipe. You have control whether it’s gonna be little bit salty by adding some salt or not.

Some butter also has the hard texture. If you have one, cut them into mini cubes and place them on a bowl. It needs ten minutes to be softer, after that you can mix it with sugar. The hard texture will be hard to blend with other ingredients, especially sugar. If it’s so, the cream texture won’t be good and you’ll fail the cake.

  1. Flour type

The marble cake should have moist texture. Though you can use all-purpose flour, the best one is flour with low protein. In the market, sometimes it’s called the cake flour. Don’t use the high protein like the one for baking the bread. The texture will be hard and the result won’t be delicious.

  1. The pan

There’s no rule about which pan you should use. If you want to make small packages, try the mini pan. The regular pan is also okay, as long as it’s 5×9 inches. It’s the standard one to make the cake bigger beautifully in the oven.

  1. The baking powder

Baking powder is a must, especially for the chocolate batter one. The cocoa powder makes the batter harder. If you don’t mix the baking powder, it won’t raise during the baking. Usually, the small amount baking powder will help. But use the rules 2 percent of flour to add this material.

  1. The chocolate

Some cocoa powder has bitter taste. If you don’t like how it tastes, yoou can try the chocolate bar. But before mixing it to the cream, you need slice them into pieces so it goes well. Or else, you can boil the chocolate so you only need to pour them into the mixer bowl.

Baking Tips

  1. The duration of making cream

Actually, there’s not any fix time to mix sugar and butter under the mixer. If it has been yellowish, then it is. You need to stop if it looks too creamy and the color is white rather than yellow. Though it won’t affect the taste, the cream will make a big differences in its texture after baking.

  1. Greasing the pan

Grease the pan with some butter, not the oil. Butter will make the result better and tasty. The otherwise, oil will make the marble cake look over greasy after baking. Though oil will ease the cake separate from the pan, but the appearance and taste become worse.

  1. Covering with aluminum foil

This kind of material is needed, especially if the top of cake is brown, but it’s still wet in the middle. Aluminum foil will help the cake cooked well. The baking time is usually 40 minutes. You can place the foil 10 minutes before it’s cooked.

  1. Let it cool down

Be more patient before enjoying your cake. You may need 30 minutes to wait after the pan is out from the oven. If you remove the cake immediately from the pan, it still sticks and hard to be removed. Slicing the cake after it’s out from oven is forbid. The cake is still wet and you’ll make the mess of the texture.
