Vegan Marble Cake

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grab your favorite Bundt pan – it's about to become the star of the show!
2. Take that vegan butter and give your Bundt pan a good rub all over. Now, sprinkle in a bit of flour and tap it around until the pan's nicely coated. Shake out any excess – we're creating a non-stick masterpiece here!
3. In a large mixing bowl, toss in your flour, cornstarch, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, vanilla sugar, and that pinch of salt. Give it all a good whisk – we want these dry ingredients mingling!
4. Now for the wet team: pour in the sunflower oil and soy milk. Mix everything together until you've got a smooth batter. Don't worry if there are a few small lumps. Add the apple cider vinegar and mix again.
5. Here comes the fun part! Divide your batter into two bowls. Try to make them as even as possible – we're going for harmony here.
6. In a separate small bowl, mix together the cocoa powder and rum. It'll look like a rich, chocolatey paste.
7. Add this cocoa-rum mixture to one of your batter bowls. Fold it in gently – we're creating art here, not whipping cream!
8. Now, let's create that marble effect! Alternate spoonfuls of the vanilla and chocolate batters into your prepared Bundt pan. Don't be too precise – randomness is key for that perfect marble look.
9. Once all the batter is in the pan, take a knife or a skewer and swirl it through the batter a few times. Don't overdo it – we want swirls, not mud!
10. Pop it into the preheated oven and bake for about 50 minutes. You'll know it's done when a skewer poked into the center comes out clean.
11. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes – it needs a little rest after all that baking.
12. Carefully turn out your marble cake onto a wire rack to cool completely. Marvel at those beautiful swirls!
13. Once cool, slice and serve. Watch as everyone oohs and aahs over your vegan baking skills!
