Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 4 pieces Eggs, large
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 3 tablespoons Cocoa powder, unsweetened
• 2 tablespoons Hot water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or a standard bundt pan. Lightly dust with flour and tap out the excess.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Step 5

Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the cocoa powder with the hot water to form a smooth paste.

Step 8

Transfer about one-third of the batter into a separate bowl and fold in the cocoa paste to create the chocolate batter.

Step 9

Spoon the vanilla and chocolate batters alternately into the prepared pan, layering them in random dollops.

Step 10

Using a knife or skewer, gently swirl the batters together to create a marbled effect. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 12

Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then, carefully invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 13

Serve slices of the marble cake as is or with your favorite toppings, such as whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar. Enjoy!
