Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup butter (at room temperature)
2/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 medium-sized eggs (at room temperature)
1/2 cup milk
2 cups flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
a pinch of salt
1/4 cup cocoa powder
2 tablespoons milk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • If you don't use a silicone loaf pan, line your loaf pan with parchment paper or a coating of grease and sprinkled flour.
  • Beat the butter which should be at room temperature, sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl with an electric (hand) mixer for around 5 minutes until creamy.
  • Add the eggs one by one and keep beating until the batter is smooth.
  • Add the milk and mix again.
  • In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add it to the wet ingredients in a few steps to avoid the creation of lumps while beating with your hand mixer on the lowest setting.
  • Mix until the cake batter has a smooth consistency and stop there. Make sure not to over mix!
  • Spoon 2/3 of the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  • Add cocoa powder and 2 tablespoons of milk to the rest of the batter in the bowl. Depending on the consistency of the batter, you might want to add slightly more or less milk (it should not be runny though!).
  • Spoon the chocolate batter on top of the light batter in the loaf pan. Take a fork and move it through the batter downwards in a spiral motion to create the spiral/marble pattern. At the end, you can move your fork lengthwise through the middle of the cake. (see photo above for reference)
  • Bake the cake in the oven for approx. 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Every oven is different, so your cake might be done earlier or need a little longer.
  • After taking the cake out of the oven, let it cool in the pan for around 15 minutes. Then remove it from the pan and let it cool further. Make sure you give the cake enough time to cool otherwise it might break/crumble apart when you cut it.
  • After the cake has cooled enough you can add some powdered sugar on top before serving it.
