Here’s a simple and beautiful Purple Marble Cake recipe 💜 (naturally colored and super moist!)

💜 Purple Marble Cake

🧁 Ingredients

For the cake batter:

• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

• 2 ½ tsp baking powder

• ½ tsp salt

• 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)

• 1 ¾ cups sugar

• 4 large eggs

• 1 tbsp vanilla extract

• 1 cup milk

For the purple swirl:

• ½–1 tsp purple gel food coloring
  or

• ¼ cup ube halaya (purple yam jam)
  or

• 2 tbsp blueberry puree (for a softer purple tone)

🥣 Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a loaf or round cake pan.

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

3. In another bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 3–4 minutes).

4. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla.

5. Alternate adding dry ingredients and milk, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

6. Divide the batter in half.

7. Add your purple ingredient (food coloring, ube, or blueberry puree) to one half and mix gently.

8. Spoon alternating layers of plain and purple batter into the pan.

9. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl for the marble effect.

10. Bake for 45–55 minutes (until a toothpick comes out clean).

11. Cool before slicing.
