Dulce de Leche Marble Cake

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180°C (350¿tF). Grease and flour a 20cm (8in) round cake pan.

   Tip: Optional: line the base with parchment paper for easy removal.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

   Tip: Make sure to sift the dry ingredients for a smooth batter.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the butter until creamy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

   Tip: Use room temperature eggs for a lighter cake.

4. 4

   With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the flour mixture, alternating with the Greek yogurt, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Beat just until combined.

   Tip: Don't overmix, as this can lead to a dense cake.

5. 5

   Divide the batter evenly between two bowls. Add the dulce de leche to one bowl and vanilla extract to the other.

   Tip: Swirl the dulce de leche into the cake batter to create a marbled effect.

6. 6

   Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.

   Tip: Use a spatula to create a smooth, even surface.

7. 7

   Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

   Tip: Let the cake cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

8. 8

   Once the cake is cool, slice it in half horizontally using a serrated knife.

   Tip: Use this opportunity to add a second layer of dulce de leche if desired.

9. 9

   Drizzle any remaining dulce de leche over the top of the cake and serve.

   Tip: Enjoy the ooey-gooey goodness!
