Hungarian Marble Cake (Kuglopf)🇭🇺


🍰 Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan or kuglóf mold well.
  2. Cream the butter and sugar together in a large bowl until light and fluffy (about 3–5 minutes).
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the butter mixture, alternating with milk, until a smooth batter forms.
  5. Divide the batter in half. In one bowl, mix in the cocoa powder and brewed coffee to create the chocolate batter.
  6. Layer and swirl: Spoon the batters into the prepared pan, alternating vanilla and chocolate. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the two together for a marbled effect.
  7. Bake for 40–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then carefully invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Dust with powdered sugar before serving for a classic touch.

☕ Serve With:

  • A hot cup of coffee or espresso
  • Fresh whipped cream or a spoonful of sour cherry preserves
  • A cozy afternoon and a good conversation

💡 Tips:

  • Want more chocolate? Add a handful of mini chocolate chips to the chocolate batter.
  • For extra richness, substitute some of the milk with sour cream or yogurt.
  • Kuglóf also freezes well — wrap slices individually for a quick sweet treat.
