Gugelhupf Recipe

Ingredients:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour

- 1 cup sugar

- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened

- 4 large eggs

- 1 cup milk

- 2 teaspoons baking powder

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

- 1/4 cup cocoa powder

- 1/4 teaspoon salt

- Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Directions:

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a Gugelhupf or bundt cake pan thoroughly.

Mix the Batter: In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Combine Dry Ingredients: Sift together the salt, flour, and baking powder in another bowl. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the flour mixture.

Create the Marble Effect: Divide the batter into two portions. Stir the cocoa powder into one-half of the batter. Spoon the plain and chocolate batters alternately into the prepared pan, swirling gently to create a marbled effect.

Bake: Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Dust and Serve: Once cooled, dust the Gugelhupf with powdered sugar before serving.

Conclusion

Gugelhupf is a timeless cake that combines delicate flavors with a stunning marbled design, making it perfect for any special occasion.
