Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 50 grams dark chocolate (melted)
- optional: powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and prepare a standard loaf pan or a medium bundt pan by greasing it with butter and lightly dusting with flour. Alternatively, line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer, approximately 2-3 minutes.
Add the honey and mix until well combined.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Stir in the milk to create a smooth, pourable batter.
Divide the batter into two equal portions. In one bowl, stir in the cocoa powder and melted dark chocolate until fully mixed, creating the chocolate batter. Leave the other portion plain as the golden batter.
Spoon alternating dollops of the chocolate batter and golden batter into the prepared pan. Use a skewer or knife to gently swirl the batters together in a marble pattern. Be careful not to overmix—you want distinct swirls.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional: Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar for a finishing touch before serving.
