Starbucks Marble Cake
Over the years, I have recreated several Starbucks treats at home. A few of my favorites are lemon loaf, iced matcha latte, and this salted caramel mocha.
Years ago, I used to buy marble cake from Starbucks, but they no longer sell it. Since this item was discontinued, I created my own version from scratch.
I tested this recipe multiple times to get it just right, and it was worth it. The dense crumb texture is moist and delicious and melts in your mouth. The best part is that it's incredibly easy to make at home. So, no more waiting in line at the coffee shop!
Why I Love This Recipe
A marble cake is the best of both worlds. Why choose between vanilla and chocolate when you can have both?
- The cake starts with one batter. I love how easy it is to make the batter with my mixer and then split it into two bowls.
- It is seriously delicious! It's super soft and has the perfect chocolate and vanilla flavors.
- Marble cakes are so fun to serve. Because of the marble effect, no two cakes are ever the same. Get ready to impress your friends and family with gorgeous swirls.
