Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons hot water
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan to prevent the cake from sticking.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually alternate adding the dry ingredient mixture and the milk to the batter, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Split the batter evenly into two bowls. In a small bowl, stir together the cocoa powder and hot water until smooth. Mix this cocoa mixture into one of the bowls of batter until fully combined.
Spoon the vanilla and chocolate batters alternately into the prepared bundt pan. Use a butter knife to gently swirl the two batters together to create a marbled effect. Be careful not to overmix.
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then, invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cake is fully cooled, you can dust it with powdered sugar or drizzle with a glaze of your choice, if desired. Slice and serve!
