This easy marble loaf cake is the perfect companion for your cup of coffee.
It’s a simple dessert that I make often, changing some of the ingredients to variate taste and consistence. Similar to this orange chocolate marble cake, but contains a little less sugar and is enhanced with bits of Turkish delight.
Let’s see the ingredients list.
🥚 Ingredients For Loaf Marble Cake
For this marble cake I used:
- Eggs – the main ingredient
- Flour – all purpose is just fine
- Pinch of salt
- Sugar – regular sugar but you can use brown if you want
- Turkish delight – substitute with raisins or candied fruits
- Orange – zest and juice
- Cocoa powder
- Oil – neutral flavor cooking oil
- Baking powder, vanilla and rum extracts
- Chocolate, icing sugar – to decorate (optional)
🍫Directions:
1. Beat the eggs
- Measure the sugar and flour. Chop the Turkish delight in small bits. Separate the eggs and beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until strong peaks are formed. Slowly add sugar and beat until a meringue is formed.
- Beat the egg yolks 1 minute and slowly pour in the oil. Add the vanilla, the orange juice and zest. Mix a few seconds more.
- Pour the yolks mixture over the white batter mixing 1 minute to incorporate all well.
2. Add sifted flour
- Mix the flour with baking powder. Start to add flour in batches, using a rubber spatula to fold in the batter with gentle moves.
- Reserve 3 tbsp flour and separate the batter. Move 1/3 of the batter into another bowl and incorporate the cocoa powder and the rum extract. Add the rest of the flour to the white batter.
- Line 2 loaf pans with parchment paper and pour in one layer of white batter, one with cocoa batter and top with white batter again. Or you can spoon it alternatively if you wish. Add bits of Turkish delight in the batter. Make spirals in the batter with a knife or a fork to obtain the marble effect.
3. Bake the loaf cakes
Preheat oven at 350F (180C) and bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Remove from baking pans and let them cool on a wire rack.
Melt the chocolate with 2-3 tbsp milk and cover one of the marbled loaf cakes. I decorated the other with icing sugar per family request.
🍴 Serve
After completely cooling, slice and serve with a cup of coffee or milk.
It’s delish. Enjoy!
