Ingredients

• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 200 grams Granulated sugar
• 150 grams Unsalted butter (softened)
• 200 grams Plain yoghurt
• 3 Large eggs
• 30 grams Cocoa powder
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Milk (if needed)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a 9-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy using a hand or stand mixer.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Alternate adding the dry ingredients and the yoghurt to the wet mixture in three batches, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

Step 6

Divide the batter in half. In one of the portions, sift in the cocoa powder and gently fold to incorporate. Add up to 2 tablespoons of milk if the cocoa batter is too thick to match the consistency with the plain batter.

Step 7

Spoon both the plain and cocoa batter into the prepared loaf pan in alternating layers. Use a knife or skewer to swirl the batters together gently, creating a marble effect.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Slice and serve as a delightful tea-time treat or dessert!
