Let’s dive into why this cake is a baking classic and how you can make it effortlessly.
There’s something magical about marble cakes. The gentle swirl of chocolate and vanilla creates a pattern that’s as pleasing to the eyes as it is to the taste buds. It’s a cake that refuses to be boring. And the bundt pan? Oh, it’s not just a baking tool—it’s a design statement. Those elegant ridges make any cake look like a masterpiece, even if you’re new to baking.
This cake combines the fluffiness of Greek yogurt, the richness of dark chocolate, and the delicate sweetness of white chocolate into a dessert that’s pure joy in every bite. And let’s not forget the added bonus: it’s ridiculously fun to make.
Creating that signature marble effect is a lot like painting—but with batter instead of brushes. Every swirl is unique, making each cake a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. When you cut into it, the beautifully contrasting colors make all the effort worthwhile. Plus, it’s an excellent way to show off your baking skills (even if they’re just budding).

Instructions:
- Prepare the Pan: Start by greasing and flouring your bundt pan. This ensures your cake will release easily and maintain its beautiful shape.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and baking powder. Set aside.
- Whisk the Eggs: In another bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar and vanilla sugar until the mixture becomes pale and fluffy.
- Incorporate Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the oil, milk, and Greek yogurt to the egg mixture, whisking until smooth.
- Combine the Dry and Wet Mixtures: Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until well incorporated. Be careful not to overmix—this keeps the cake light and airy.
- Divide the Batter: Split the batter evenly into two bowls. In one bowl, stir in the cocoa powder and 40ml of milk to create the chocolate batter.
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 180°C (350°F) with the fan on.
- Layer the Batters: Begin with two layers of vanilla batter at the bottom of your bundt pan. Alternate between the chocolate and vanilla batters to create a beautiful marble effect. Swirl a knife through the batter for extra drama.
- Bake to Perfection: Place the pan in the oven and bake for about 35 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Make the Ganache: While the cake cools, prepare the chocolate ganache. Melt the dark chocolate and heavy cream in a double boiler, stirring until smooth.
- Decorate: Drizzle the dark chocolate ganache over the cake, then follow with the melted white chocolate for a stunning finish.
- Pair it with a hot cup of coffee or tea for a cozy afternoon treat.
- Add fresh berries and whipped cream for a more decadent dessert.
- Enjoy it plain—because sometimes simplicity is the ultimate indulgence.
