Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
- Divide the batter in half. Mix the cocoa powder into one half of the batter until well combined.
- Spoon alternating dollops of vanilla and chocolate batter into the prepared bundt pan.
- Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the batters together, creating a marbled effect.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For an extra touch, you can dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar or drizzle it with a simple glaze.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter when combining the flour mixture with the wet ingredients to ensure a light, airy texture.
- This cake can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
