Ingredients
Scale
Marble Bundt Cake:
- 1 ¾ cup gluten free blend (see notes)
- 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¾ cup salted butter, softened at room temp
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
- 5 eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
Chocolate Glaze (optional):
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 4 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 3–4 tablespoons almond milk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
Marble Bundt Cake (Gluten Free):
- Preheat the oven to 350 degree F.
- Grease a bundt cake pan, and then sprinkle with flour. This helps ensure the cake will come out of the pan easily.
- Whisk together the gluten free flour and the baking powder.
- Using a Kitchen Aid or hand mixer, beat together the butter and sugar for 3 minutes or until light and creamy.
- With the mixer on low, add in one egg at a time, quickly followed by a tablespoon of the flour mixture (helps keep it from curdling, don’t skip this step.) Repeat until all eggs have been incorporated.
- Mix in the almond milk and applesauce.
- Add remaining flour mixture until it has been well combined. The batter will be pretty thick. Scoop out 2/3 of the cake batter into another bowl.
- With the remaining batter, add the cocoa powder and mix. Take your prepared bundt cake pan, and scoop half of the vanilla batter into the pan.
- Next, scoop the chocolate batter on top of the vanilla batter that is already in the pan.
- Finally, dollop the remaining vanilla batter on top of the chocolate batter carefully, and smooth out the top with a palette knife.
- Place the cake pan in the preheated oven, and bake for about 30 minutes, or until a large toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for about 20 minutes. Turn your cake out onto a wire rack and let cool completely before adding the glaze.
- If you are doing the glaze, combine all ingredients (powdered sugar, milk, vanilla, and cocoa powder) into a small bowl and whisk until there are no lumps.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cake.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
I use Bobs Red Mill 1:1 Baking Gluten Free Flour because it has xanthan gum.
If your GF flour blend doesn’t have xanthan gum, add an additional 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder.
I would not recommend using almond flour as a substitute for GF flour in this recipe.
