Equipment
- 10-inch bundt pan
- Hand mixer
- Saucepan
Ingredients
- 1.25 sticks butter, softened
- 0.75 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- 4 eggs, separated
- 2.33 cups flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 0.25 cup milk
- 0.33 cup cocoa powder
- 16 oz baking beans or pie weights
- 16 oz cream cheese
- 0.75 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 6 sheets gelatin, soaked
- 3 oz raspberries, pureed
- 3 tbsp water
- 12 oz mixed berries, pureed
- 0.33 cup water
- cake crumbs to garnish
- fresh berries to garnish
Instructions
- Combine the butter, sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and egg yolks until smooth. Fold in the flour, baking powder, and milk. Beat the egg whites with a hand mixer until frothy and fold them into the cake batter. Pour ⅓ of the cake batter into a separate bowl and stir in the cocoa powder. Alternate pouring the light cake batter and the chocolate cake batter into a greased 10-inch bundt pan and use a fork or chopsticks to swirl the batters around for a marble cake effect.
- Grease the outside of a second 10-inch bundt pan and press it into the cake batter in the first bundt pan until the cake batter reaches the top.
- Fill the second bundt pan with baking beans or pie weights and place the stacked bundt pans on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Transfer the baking tray to a preheated oven and cook at 350°F for 45 minutes. Let the cake cool for 40 minutes, cut off the excess cake hanging over the edge of the first bundt pan (save the crumbs for later), and then carefully remove the second bundt pan.
- Combine the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract. Soak the gelatin sheets in cold water for 5 minutes, squeeze out the water, and slowly heat the soaked gelatin sheets in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly. Once the gelatin is liquid, fold it into the cream cheese mixture. Pour half of the cream cheese filling into the bundt pan and smooth out the top.
- Add the pureed raspberries and water to a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Pour the cooled raspberry sauce over the cream cheese filling in the bundt pan. Pour the rest of the cream cheese filling over the raspberry sauce and smooth out the top.
- Crumble the leftover cake crumbs over the cream cheese filling and refrigerate the cake for 1½ hours. For the berry sauce, add the pureed mixed berries and water to a saucepan over medium heat, bring to a boil, and then let cool down. Remove the stuffed marble bundt cake from the fridge, gently turn it over onto a serving platter, and remove the bundt pan. Pour the cooled berry sauce into the center of the chilled cake and garnish with fresh berries.
