00:00 Hello, my name is Maria Velasco from Once Upon a Cake and today we're going to talk
00:09 about how to bake a marble cake.
00:11 So today you have your vanilla cake batter and then we have our chocolate cake batter.
00:17 So we're going to start by putting in the vanilla cake batter and it's whatever vanilla
00:23 cake batter you like or it can be yellow cake or it can be even chocolate with strawberry
00:28 which is very, very yummy.
00:30 So we're going to put our batter in there and you want it about halfway full.
00:38 We're going to wiggle it in there to even it out and do it here as well.
00:45 And now comes the fun part.
00:46 We're going to take a spoon with your chocolate batter and we are going to just plop it in
00:52 there.
00:57 I like three plops, I like uneven numbers.
00:59 There's one, two, and three.
01:07 Then you can take a knife or a little spatula, I love my little mini spatula and we're just
01:11 going to start swirling.
01:14 You don't want to swirl too much because then you'll have like ribbons of chocolate cake
01:18 batter.
01:19 I like kind of nice big chunks of cake batter, of the chocolate.
01:27 And you want kind of this effect here.
01:29 So now it is ready to go into the oven and whatever time your cake recipe calls for,
01:35 that's what you're going to do and then we'll see how it turns out.
01:37 So the cake has been baked at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes and after the 30 minutes
01:43 I pull out the rack and I do the toothpick test.
01:47 Just insert the toothpick, if it comes out clean, your cake is done.
01:51 So now what I'm going to do is I'm going to level the cake so we can see the pattern inside
01:55 the cake.
01:56 And I use, as a commercial baker, I use a cake leveler.
02:00 You can use a serrated knife, that works just as well.
02:03 So here we go.
02:10 Now this top piece you can give to your kids or to your husband.
02:13 But here we see the pattern of the marbling of the cake.
02:17 I did not put too much chocolate in here, but this is the pattern that you'll get once
02:22 you do a marble cake.
02:23 My name is Maria Velasco from Once Upon a Cake and you've just learned how to bake a
02:27 marble cake.
