Marbled coffee bundt cake is one of the tastiest bundt cakes I’ve ever baked. It’s delicious, light and crumbly, simple to prepare, and exactly the kind of flavour I love. Despite the generous amount of butter, the ingredients are perfectly balanced, making the cake soft and not heavy at all. Perfect with a glass of milk :). I received this recipe from Beata, who often bakes it for Easter, and I’m so glad she agreed to share it with us. Thank you – and I highly recommend it!
Ingredients for the marbled coffee bundt cake:
- 250 g butter
- ¾ cup caster sugar
- 5 large eggs
- 1 cup plain flour
- 1 cup potato starch (or cornflour)
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- cake flavouring or extract (e.g. lemon or orange) or finely grated lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons instant coffee (powdered or liquid)
All ingredients should be at room temperature.
In the bowl of a mixer, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Sift the flour, potato starch and baking powder directly into the butter mixture and gently fold in with a spatula, mixing only until just combined. Divide the batter into two equal parts. Add the extract or citrus zest to one portion and mix briefly. Dissolve the instant coffee in a minimal amount of water and add to the second portion, mixing until combined.
Grease and flour a bundt tin (24 cm in diameter). Pour in the plain batter first, then the coffee batter on top. Gently swirl with a fork to create a marbled effect.
Bake at 160ºC for about 40–45 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Remove from the oven, cool briefly in the tin, then transfer to a wire rack. Pour over the thickening chocolate glaze.
Ingredients for the chocolate glaze:
- 70 ml double cream
- 90 g chocolate (half milk, half dark), chopped
Heat the cream in a small saucepan until almost boiling, then remove from the heat. Add the chopped chocolate, leave for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth. Allow to cool slightly until it thickens before pouring over the cake.
Enjoy!
