Ever since I set eyes on Annie’s marble cake post, the image of her rich, buttery, chocolaty marble cake has made quite an impression on me. Annie is a superb baker and she once shared her aunt’s butter cake recipe with me that had me oooh and ahhh for the delicious great taste. I know her marble cake recipe will not disappoint.
I baked my marble cake with mini loaf pans because I love things small and cutesy looking. The batter makes four (4).

The recipe is copied directly from House of Annie. It’s a tad long, but Annie gives detailed and useful instructions when it come to baking. If you love cakes, this marble cake recipe is a sure-fire keeper. Try it out, it’s worth it.

This takes me back to those marble cake slices I used to eat when I was in primary school – the ones that cost about 60cents from places like Honey Bakery. I have a craving for it now, aah! Will have to make this after I make the curry puffs I am also craving for! :P
(On a completely unrelated subject) – Speaking of bakeries, have you ever tried the milk bread and cinnamon buns from Continental Bakery?
Yes Su-Yin, they were always wrapped in plastic, I remember too. I love marble cake.
Where is Continental Bakery? I am in Irvine, CA, USA.
Is chocolate marble cake considered a traditional Malaysian dessert? I have a daughter doing a school project and wanted to make sure she wasn’t overly influenced by her sweet tooth in her selection of a traditional Malaysian dessert. Thanks for your help.
I love House of Annie and love your pics of her pretty marble cake.
Ninette, Annie is a sweetheart. Love her and Nate and their blog. :)
Wow it looks delicious! I love marble cake. I am still on my diet program now. I can only eat my first dessert in December. My plan is to have a small piece of cake. I think I will eat marble cake. Thanks for sharing.
December, another month to go. Good luck and have a few pieces of marble cake when you can. Hehe.
Hi Bee! I didn’t know you had made my marble cake! Hope you liked it. I just made it myself a few days ago. What a good idea to make small loaves. I was wishing I was back in the US so that I could buy that Nordic Ware mini bundt cake mold so I could make tiny ones too. Thanks for the link.
Annie – I love the marble cake!!! As good as the butter cake recipe you gave me.
I have recently baked this too. Unfortunately, I fit everything into my loaf pan and it was too big! The outside was already cooked way before the inside was done…. So it ended up with a rather dry crust. I will love to make them again in minis. May I know how long it took in the oven for the minis?
Hi Mrs Ergul,
I am sorry you had a bad experience. I think I did warn people that this recipe makes a very big cake so if you are going to use a loaf pan, it’s best to split it into 2 regular loaf pans or in Bee’s case, 4 minis. Hope you will give it another go.
Sure I will give it a go again! Maybe I will just halve the recipe because the full recipe really makes a lot and it turned sour before we even manage to finish half of it. I was saddened to have to trash it.
This is simply awesome, looks so moist and tantalizing!
Alice – yes. Moist and buttery marble cake, and pretty, too. Hehe.
Thanks for sharing the recipe, you got the texture just perfect with that marbled effect on the slices, it looks moist and delicious!
Hey Heather, thanks so much. I am not much a baker but I am pretty pleased with the result of this marble cake. :)
The marble cake looks like a super posh version of the marble cakes I used to eat when I was a kid – I will have to try it out one of these days!
Yes, please try out Annie’s marble cake recipe. It’s a keeper!
Looks like mini marble bread lourves. Nice!
Yes, I love minis. Make the marble cake tastes better.
Looks buttery and so good!
Yes, buttery and chocolaty. Great marble cake!
Gorgeous Bee. Love marble cake. It looks so moist and buttery.
Syrie – thank you and thanks to Annie for her great recipe. Yummy!
I love soft buttery cake with black coffee. Ok. When you making Tiger (Tiga) Roll ? ;p
Tiger Roll? I heard about it but I am not that talented in the baking department lah. Have you made it?
i love baking!so i plan to try out this recipe this coming weekend.hmm..will be using loaf pan too so dat it will look just like yours..hope it taste as good too! ~cheers~
This looks awesome! I’m always in search of a good buttery cake recipe. Is this the more compact, buttery type than the soft fluffy type? :)
merk,
check this cake against some of the others and draw your own conclusion.
I always wanted to bake a cake but never been successful. I was wondering if this cake is easy to make? Also, since this one is made for 4 mini loaf, do you think I can make a quarter of recipe? One more thing can you explain how to test the cake? cake tester? TIA
I made this cake over the weekend and it really is delicious. I used sour cream instead of yogurt and large eggs instead of x-large and it came out fine. With the batter, I was able to make 4 mini loaves AND a dozen cupcakes. The cupcakes were done in about 20 min and the loaves about 45. Since I’m pregnant, I had to make sure I didn’t eat it all, so I have been giving it to friends and they all LOVE it! So thanks to you and Annie for a great recipe.
I’ve been making cakes for years, always the sponge or oil version. I could never make a butter cake as it always rose perfectly in the oven but fell when taken out. This is the first butter recipe i’ve made perfectly, the cake was fabulous not only in taste but the texture was light and fluffy. I can’t tell you how pleased i am to have found this recipe. Now im going to let my imagination run wild and see what else i can come up with.
i am making my sister in law this marble cake for her 15th birthday next saturday. i was wondering if i had to adjust the baking time or the temperature if i was to bake it in a 9 inch round thats 3 inches deep? i don’t want to waste ingredients by testing it myself so if anyone out there knows the answer please help!!!
i want to make this cake but wgat size pan should i put it in so i can fit all of it in it ?

This recipi is awesome! The cake turned out so moist and tasted so good. My husband complimented me that my cake is better than the best bakery we used to frequent. Really a must try! Thumbs up!
