History
The marble cake was first made in Germany in the 19th century and was called Marmorkuchen. The name came from the marble-like pattern created by swirling light and dark batters. As baking evolved, this concept transformed into smaller, easier versions — muffins.
Modern bakers added a new twist: a chocolate square hidden in the center, creating a molten surprise when baked. This recipe is a modern-day tribute to that timeless charm.

Ingredients
🧁 Muffin Batter:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk (or buttermilk)
- ½ cup melted butter (or oil)

🍳
Instructions & Methods
Step 1: Prepare the Oven
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Line your muffin tray with 12 paper cups.
Step 2: Make the Batter
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, mix eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients — stir gently until smooth (don’t overmix).
Step 3: Create the Marble Mix
- Divide your batter into two bowls.
- In one bowl, add cocoa powder and 2 tablespoons of milk to make the chocolate batter.
- You now have one vanilla batter and one chocolate batter.
Step 4: Fill the Muffin Cups
- Spoon a little vanilla batter into each paper cup.
- Place one chocolate square in the center of each cup.
- Add a spoonful of chocolate batter on top.
- Use a toothpick or fork to gently swirl the two batters together for a marble effect.
Step 5: Bake to Perfection
Bake for 18–22 minutes until golden and puffed.
Check with a toothpick (insert it on the side so you don’t hit the chocolate center).
Cool in the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
🌹
Formation & Serving
- Dust the tops with powdered sugar or drizzle with melted chocolate.
- Serve warm, so the hidden chocolate center melts beautifully.
- Decorate with fresh fruit, nuts, or a little whipped cream for extra flair.
