Ingredients
  

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and set an oven rack in the middle position. Generously butter a 12-cup Bundt pan and flour the buttered surface, shaking out the excess or spray with nonstick cooking spray with flour, such as Baker's Joy or Pam with Flour.

For the Vanilla Batter:

  • Stir all-purpose flour and baking powder together to combine in a medium bowl.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the unsalted butter until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and salt and continue creaming, scraping down the sides of the bowl now and again, until the mixture is light and fluffy about 5 minutes.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until each egg is completely incorporated and scraping down the bowl after each addition. Add the pure vanilla extract and mix until combined.
  • Reduce the mixer's speed to low. Alternately, sift half the flour mixture over the butter mixture, then stir it in. Stir in 50 ml room temperature milk thoroughly, scraping the side of the bowl, then sift over and stir in the remaining flour mixture. Beat the batter for a few seconds to ensure that everything is thoroughly incorporated and smooth for about 4 to 5 minutes ( take care not to overmix!)

For the Chocolate Batter:

  • In a medium bowl, add 50 ml hot milk. Add the cocoa powder and stir slowly until thoroughly combined. Add crème de cacao and add 2 cups of the vanilla batter and mix until combined (take care not to overmix!)
  • Pour about half of the vanilla batter into the prepared pan—dollop about half of the chocolate batter on top. Repeat with the remaining vanilla and chocolate batters. Run a skewer or butter knife through the pan to slightly swirl the 2 batters together. Tap a full Bundt pan on the counter once or twice to release air bubbles. The batter should look even in the pan.
  • Bake the Marble Bundt Cake until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs, 45 minutes. The Marble Bundt Cake will rise to fill the pan and settle slightly once removed from the oven. Allow Marble Bundt Cake to rest on a cooling rack for 15 minutes before inverting cake from the pan. Once cooled, dust the Marble Bundt Cake with a bit of powdered sugar.
