No-Mixer Marble Pound Cake |Butter Cake 大理石牛油磅蛋糕

Traditional pound cakes are plain and simple. They are made with only four ingredients - 1 pound of butter, 1 pound of sugar, 1 pound of eggs, and 1 pound of flour. This is how it got the name - pound cakes. 

They are generally dense and rich. To lighten the texture I've made some adjustment and added leavening. 

Other than that, the results are the same - rich, moist, buttery cake with a deep golden crust.

Being a chocolate lover, I decided to have two flavours in one cake. By alternating the chocolate cake batter and butter cake batter, and then running a stick through the batter creates that beautiful marble-like swirl. 

Be careful not to swirl too much though - you may end up with a brown color cake instead. 

Store-bought marble cake sometimes comes with too little chocolate cake portion. This recipe makes sure there is a good mixture of both. Overall, the cake is moist, rich, buttery with a good amount of bittersweet chocolate. 

This recipe is easy to make, but it always helps to watch the step-by-step video tutorial below.
