Marble (Technique)
- A baking technique where two different colored batters (typically vanilla and chocolate) are swirled together to create a streaked, marble-like pattern in cakes, brownies, and other baked goods.
For baking marbling: Use contrasting colored batters and avoid over-swirling to maintain distinct patterns rather than muddy colors.
Baking technique: Drop batters in alternating spoonfuls, then use a knife to create gentle S-patterns through the batter.
Layering method: For best results, layer batters in a checkerboard pattern before swirling for more even distribution.
Don't overmix: Whether marbling brownies or cakes, limit swirling to 1 to 2 passes to preserve the marble effect.
