Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup whole milk
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons hot water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan or tube pan.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

Step 5

Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the cocoa powder with hot water to create a smooth paste.

Step 7

Remove 1 cup of the prepared batter and stir it into the cocoa mixture until fully combined.

Step 8

Pour half of the plain batter into the prepared pan. Spoon the chocolate batter on top and then pour the remaining plain batter over it.

Step 9

Using a knife or skewer, gently swirl the batters together to create a marbled effect. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 70-75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 11

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then carefully invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
