Variations
For a richer flavor, try substituting the milk with buttermilk or sour cream. These ingredients add a subtle tang and extra moisture, making the cake even more tender.
You can also infuse the milk with a teaspoon of citrus zest or a splash of almond extract for a unique twist.
Experimenting with different extracts, such as coconut or lemon, can also give the cake a fresh, new flavor profile.
If you love chocolate, consider folding in a half cup of chocolate chips or cocoa powder to transform this into a chocolate vanilla marble cake.
Simply divide the batter in half, mix cocoa into one portion, and swirl them together before baking. Another fun idea is adding sprinkles to the batter for a festive confetti cake, perfect for birthdays or celebrations.
For a fruity variation, layer fresh berries or sliced peaches on the bottom of the pan before pouring in the batter. As the cake bakes, the fruit will soften and create a delicious, jam-like layer.
You can also fold dried fruit, like raisins or chopped apricots, into the batter for added texture and sweetness. The possibilities are endless, so don’t be afraid to get creative!
