Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup mandarin orange juice
- 1 tablespoon mandarin zest
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons hot water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan. 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 together the butter and sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 4
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract, mandarin juice, and mandarin zest.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 6
In a small bowl, combine the cocoa powder and hot water, stirring until smooth.
Step 7
Divide the batter into two portions. Gently fold the cocoa mixture into one portion to create the chocolate batter.
Step 8
Spoon alternating dollops of the plain mandarin batter and the chocolate batter into the prepared loaf pan. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the batters together, creating a marbled effect.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 10
Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
Slice and serve as a delightful addition to your Shabbat table or as a sweet treat throughout the week.
