Description
A simple recipe for a moist cake featuring a swirl of vanilla and chocolate batter.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons hot water
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the buttermilk, oil, and eggs to the dry ingredients. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for two minutes. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Pour about two-thirds of the batter into a separate bowl.
- Whisk the cocoa powder and hot water into the remaining one-third of the batter until smooth.
- Pour the plain batter into the prepared pan. Gently spoon dollops of the chocolate batter over the plain batter.
- Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the two batters together to create a marble effect. Do not overmix.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool completely before serving.
Notes
- For a richer chocolate flavor, use strong brewed coffee instead of hot water when mixing the cocoa powder.
- You can use a bundt pan; adjust baking time as needed.
