Marble Swirl Pound Cake  
Stacy Mueller  
2
1

1
1
cups sugar  
cup butter or margarine, softened  
½ cups cake flour  
cup milk  
½ teaspoons baking powder  
2 teaspoons vanilla extract  
¼ teaspoon salt  
4 eggs  
¼ cup cocoa  
Grease or spray 10-inch tube pan or bundt pan; set aside. In a large bowl with mixer at low  
speed, beat sugar and butter or margarine until blended. Increase speed to high; beat until light  
and fluffy. Add eggs and milk; beat until well mixed. Add flour and remaining ingredients  
except cocoa; at low speed, beat until well mixed, constantly scraping bowl with rubber  
spatula. Increase speed to high and beat batter 4 minutes longer, occasionally scraping bowl  
with rubber spatula. Preheat oven to 350º. Remove about 2 ½ cups batter (about half) to  
medium bowl. With wire whisk or fork, beat cocoa into batter in medium bowl until well  
blended. Alternately spoon vanilla and chocolate batters into prepared pan. With blade of  
knife, cut and twist through batters in a zig-zag pattern to obtain marbled effect. Only go  
around the pan once. Bake one hour or until toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out  
clean. Cool cake in pan on wire rack 10 minutes, then remove and cool completely on rack.  
Slices best after cooling. Makes 16 servings. Recipe may be halved for use in an 8-inch, 6 cup  
bundt pan; reduce baking time to 45 minutes. I like to make this in a bundt pan--put it on a  
plate crusty side up when cooled.
