🍰 Chocolate Marble Cake

Ingredients:

For the Cake:

2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour

1 tbsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened

1 cup (200g) granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup (240ml) milk

1/4 cup (25g) unsweetened cocoa powder

2 tbsp hot water

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven

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

2. Mix Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

3. Cream Butter and Sugar

In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 3–4 minutes).

4. Add Eggs and Vanilla

Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

5. Combine Wet and Dry

Add the dry ingredients alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.

6. Make Chocolate Batter

In a small bowl, mix the cocoa powder and hot water into a smooth paste. Transfer 1/3 of the cake batter into this bowl and mix well to create the chocolate portion.

7. Marble the Batter

Spoon the vanilla and chocolate batters alternately into the prepared pan. Use a knife or skewer to swirl the batters gently for a marbled effect.

8. Bake

Bake for 45–55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

9. Cool

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Optional Topping:

Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with melted chocolate once cooled.

Instructions:

1. Heat Cream
   In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not boil.

2. Add Chocolate
   Remove from heat and immediately add the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for 2–3 minutes to melt.

3. Stir Until Smooth
   Gently stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the glaze is smooth.

4. Add Butter & Vanilla (Optional)
   Stir in the butter for extra shine and vanilla for flavor.

5. Cool Slightly
   Let the glaze cool for 5–10 minutes so it thickens slightly but is still pourable.

6. Glaze the Cake
   Drizzle or pour over your cooled marble cake. Allow it to set for about 15 minutes before slicing.
