Ingredients
 
 

  • 260 g flour all-purpose
  • 90 g starch potato starch, alternatively corn starch
  • 250 g powdered sugar
  • 1 package baking powder In Austria 1 package = 15-16 grams = a bit more than a tbsp
  • 1/2 tsp ground vanilla bean powder *)
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 250 ml vegan milk 250 ml milk = 250 g milk
  • 1 tbsp vinegar e.g. apple cider vinegar
  • 150 ml oil 150 ml oil = 130 g oil
  • 50 ml sparkling water
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp vegan milk
  • 1 tsp oil or a small piece of vegan butter
  • 1 tbsp bread crumbs approx., for the baking tin. Alternatively use flour
  • 1,5 tbsp powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 170 degrees top/bottom heat.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients - flour, starch, powdered sugar, baking powder, vanilla and salt - and mix well.
  • Then add the liquid ingredients: add the milk, vinegar and oil and mix just until the ingredients are combined. Finally, briefly stir in the sparkling water.
  • Grease a bundt cake tin and sprinkle with some breadcrumbs or flour to prevent the cake from sticking.
  • Now pour in about 2/3 of the batter, which is about 700 grams.
  • Stir the cocoa powder and the tablespoon of vegan milk into the remaining 1/3 and pour it into the tin as well.
  • To prevent air bubbles from forming or escaping, tap the tin briefly on the work surface.
  • Bake the cake for about 50 minutes on the second rack from the bottom.
  • Check with a cake tester or similar, like a thin wooden stick: Insert into the cake - if no batter sticks to it, the cake is baked.
  • Switch off the oven, open the door and leave the cake to cool in the tin for approx. 10 minutes. Then turn the marble cake out onto a large, flat plate and leave to cool.
  • Dust with powdered sugar before serving. You could sprinkle the powdered sugar through a fine sieve.

Notes

  • My bundt cake pan has a diameter of approx. 20.5 cm (8 inches). For a bundt cake tin with a diameter of 24 cm (9.5 inches), you'll need about 1.5 times the amount. Simply enter 1.5 in the servings field to get the correct ingredient quantities.
  • In the video I first add light-coloured batter, then dark, then light again. I tried the recipe afterwards with just adding everything at once (all light, then all dark on top) and it works just as good. 
  • Store the cooled marble cake at room temperature in an airtight cake box, well covered with plastic wrap or in a bag, to keep it moist and prevent it from drying out.
