Ingredients

For the Vanilla Batter:

• 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
• 1 1
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup (120ml) whole milk

For the Chocolate Batter:

• 1/
• 1/4 cup (60ml) whole milk
• 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Pan

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

2. Prepare the Vanilla Batter

1. In the medium
2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened mound
3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
4. Stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk, starting and ending

3. Prepare the Chocolate Batter

1. In a small saucepan, heat the cocoa powder, sugar, and milk over low heat, stirring constantly until the cocoa is dissolved and the mixture is smooth. L
2. Take half of the vanilla batter and mix it with the chocolate mixture until fully incorporated. This creates the chocolate batter.

4. Assemble the Marble Pound Cake

1. Spoon the vanilla and chocolate batters alternately into the prepared loaf pan. Start with a layer of vanilla, then a layer of chocolate, and continue alternating layers until both batters are used.
2. Use a butter knife or skewer to swirl the batters together, creating a marbled effect. Be careful not to overmix – you want distinct swirls, not a uniform batter.

5. Bake the Cake

1. Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (a few crumbs are okay).
2. If the top of the cake begins to brown too quickly, try it with aluminum foil during the last 15-20 minutes of baking.
3. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

6. Serve and Enjoy

1. Once the cake is completely cooled, slice it and enjoy the rich, tender texture with the beautiful marbled design!

Tips for Success

• Swirling Technique : When swirling the batters, do it gently to avoid fully combining the two flavors. You want distinct swirls to make the marble effect stand out.
• Room Temperature Ingredients : For the best texture, ensure that your butter, eggs, and milk are at room temperature before mixing.
• Storage : Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4-5 days, or refrigerate it for longer freshness. You can also freeze slices for up to 3 months.
