Have made this cake three times now once as the recipe states with traditional plain flour once with gluten free plain flour and a third time with rice flour.
With a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment beat the butter on high speed in a large bowl until smooth and creamy about 1 minute.

Then pop the layers into the preheated oven for 34 35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Hardly a cake taste at all.

Marble cake is a classic childhood cooking memory.
I chose to bake this recipe up in 3 6 inch diameter round pans but it can also be made in 2 8 inch pans or 9 inch pans or you could make it in a 9 13 inch pan just be sure to adjust the bake times as needed if you re making it differently than what you see here.
Such a simple recipe but soooo delicous.
To assemble cake place one layer of cooled marble layer on cake stand.
Repeat with remaining cake layers.
