Polish Marble Bunt Cake {Babka Marmurkowa}
Easter is right around the corner. It’s time to start prepping for this very important celebration. I’m starting with babka, a soft and crumbly cake, baked in a bunt cake pan, sprinkled with powdered sugar or glazed with chocolate frosting. I’m opting for vanilla-chocolate swirl (marble) this time.
Polish Marble Bunt Cake {Babka Marmurkowa}
Ingredients
- 14 tbsp / 200 g of soft butter
- 1 c / 200 g of sugar
- 1 tsp of vanilla extract
- 2 c / 250 g of flour
- 4 eggs separated
- 1/4 c / 60 ml of milk
- 1 tbsp of baking powder
- 1/4 c of cocoa
- 2 tbsp of run, whiskey or cognac
- Pinch of salt
- Powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F / 190°C.
Beat soft butter and sugar until fluffy (3–4 minutes), add vanilla extract, mix until combined.
In a separate bowl combine flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt.
Alternately add egg yolks, flour and milk, and blend until combined.
In a separate bowl, beat egg whites with a pinch of salt on high until stiff. Transfer egg whites into cake mixture and gently stir by hand until combined.
Prep bunt cake by greasing it with butter. Transfer about ⅔ of the cake mixture into it. Add cocoa and rum to the remaining ⅓ of the cake mixture and stir until combined. Add to the pan and gently stir to create swirls.
Bake for about 50-60 minutes. Take out and cool before sprinkling with powdered sugar.
Smacznego!!
