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 the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a loaf or bundt pan.
- Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
- In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients and milk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the dry mixture.
- Divide the batter into two halves. In one half, mix in the cocoa powder and hot water until smooth.
- Fold the chocolate mixture into one portion of the batter.
- Spoon alternating dollops of vanilla and chocolate batter into the prepared pan. Use a knife to swirl them gently for a marbled effect.
- Bake for about 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
