Let’s decorate the coffee table with a great homemade cake and delight your loved ones.
I “inherited” the recipe from my grandfather. Grandpa baked the cake regularly, much to the delight of the grandchildren and children.

1. Bake a Simple Marble Cake
This cake is all about easy and fast.
There are already other recipes for small marble cake muffins and marble cake with chocolate icing.
You need some ingredients. My secret ingredients are real rum and vanilla aroma.
I use these two ingredients in slightly larger quantities than in the usual recipes.
First of all my grandpa did it this way, secondly I just taste better. Here at a glance the ingredients for your supermarket rally:
- Wheat flour or gluten-free flour
- 6 pieces of eggs
- 500 g brown sugar
- 300 g butter
- vanilla flavour
- cocoa
- genuine rum
- cream
I bake this cake traditionally with bottom and top heat at 170°C, the result is a juicy marble cake!

Instruction
Check ingredients
Prepare the ingredients for the cake.
Preparations
Preheat oven at 175°C top and bottom heat.
Grease the cake tin with enough butter.
Optionally line the buttered tin with breadcrumbs.
Stir butter
Stir the room-warm butter in a bowl for about one minute until smooth, then gradually add the sugar.
Add eggs
Beat the eggs, add them one by one to the dough and stir in.
Stir dough
Stir the dough one minute more.
Add flour
Add sifted flour and baking powder to the dough.
Stir dough
Stir in the flour at a low setting.
Finalize dough 1
Continue to mix the dough at high speed, it should fall “tearing” back into the bowl when you lift it out.
If the dough is too soft, add some flour, if it is too firm, add some cream.
If the dough falls from the whisks that have been switched off, the consistency is right.
Fill dough 1
Pour half of the dough into the buttered mould.
Prepare dough 2
Add the cocoa to the rest of the light-coloured dough in the bowl.
Add cream and rum.
Stir Cocoa
Mix the dough with a mixer, add the sides of the bowl with a dough spatula.
Fill dough 2
Fill the dark dough into the cake tin with a spoon to make the light-coloured dough.
Create pattern
Mix the two cake doughs spirally with a fork, creating the typical marble cake pattern.
Bake the cake for 40-50 minutes on the middle shelf on the oven rack.
Check cake
Prick the cake with a wooden skewer and check if the cake is ready baked.
Cake ready
If no more dough sticks to the spit, the cake is ready baked.
Cool cake
Take the cake out of the oven in the mould and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Turn cake
Loosen the ring, remove it and turn the cake over to the desired place.
I have provided a shelf. Note: The cake is easier to topple when warm!
Arrange cake
Now let the cake cool down further at room temperature.
Sugar the cake
Sprinkle the cake with icing sugar before serving.
Serve
Serve the cake or place it on the coffee table.
Enjoy
Cut the cake fresh and put it on the plates, enjoy!

Breadcrumbs tip:
With the wreath mould, there is no need to put baking paper in the mould. In sultry weather I recommend the use of breadcrumbs in any case.
Sprinkle the breadcrumbs into the buttered form and then tilt the crumbs so that they stick. A crust forms during baking and the cake is easier to turn over!

4. Cake Pan Tips for the Marble Cake
You can put this cake on the table in almost any shape, here are some ideas and occasions:
- Whole, high baking tray – for the colleagues in the office
- Box shape – a classic for the family party
- Ring cake mould – suitable for festive occasions
- Wreath shape – for the Sunday cake
- Muffin shapes – for pampered guests
- Round springform pan – birthday cake
The cake always goes, let yourself be inspired. Marble cake muffins with a great topping I show you elsewhere, as well as the marble cake with glaze.
Brush the cake tin well with butter, breadcrumbs also help when falling down later. My cake always comes out of the mould warm, so I had the best results so far.
Baking tip from cook Thomas Sixt
Pay attention to the temperature during baking, too high heat makes the cake dry!
