🥘 Ingredients

9 items

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 cup milk
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 2 units large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

📝 Instructions

8 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.

4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together using a spatula or wooden spoon. Do not overmix; the batter should be thick but smooth.

5. Remove about 1 cup of the batter and place it into a small bowl. Add the cocoa powder to this reserved batter and stir until fully incorporated.

6. Layer the batters into the prepared loaf pan by alternating scoops of the plain batter and the cocoa batter. Use a butter knife to gently swirl the two batters together, creating a marbled effect. Be careful not to overmix.

7. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

8. Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
