Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 cups (315g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 3/4 cups (350g) granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup (240ml) milk
- 1/4 cup (30g) cocoa powder
- 3 tbsp hot water
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a loaf or bundt pan with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together.
- In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until fluffy and light.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Alternately add the dry ingredient mixture and the milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients.
- Divide the batter in half. In one portion, mix the cocoa powder with the hot water until smooth and fold into that portion.
- Pour spoonfuls of vanilla and chocolate batter into the prepared pan alternately. Use a knife to swirl gently.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
