Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups sugar
- 1 cup butter (unsalted, softened)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 2 tablespoons hot water
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt cake pan.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Add Eggs: Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
- Combine Flour Mix and Milk: Gradually add the flour mixture alternately with milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
- Prepare Chocolate Mixture: Split the batter in half. In a small bowl, mix cocoa powder with hot water until smooth. Add the cocoa mixture to one half of the batter and mix until combined.
- Pour Batter: Spoon the vanilla and chocolate batter alternately into the prepared bundt pan. Use a knife to gently swirl through the batter to create a marbled effect.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve.
Notes
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing and smoother batter.
- Swirling: Avoid over-swirling the batter to keep distinct chocolate and vanilla patterns.
- Storage: Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
