Servings: 10
Calories: 272kcal
Ingredients
- 200 g granulated sugar
- 100 g eggs (2 lg) room temperature
- 112 g neutral oil I like avocado
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 80 g milk at room temperature (can sub plant base)
- 80 g Greek yogurt at room temperature (can sub plant faced)
- 225 g 1:1 GF flour blend
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 30 g dark (Dutch) cocoa powder
- 60 g boiling water
Instructions
- Line a 4.5x8.5 or 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper ( 9x5 will give a shorter wider slice).
- Put the sugar in a large bowl. Add the eggs and whisk, by hand or with a mixer, until the sugar is dissolved a bit and smooth. Add oil, vanilla, yogurt and milk and whisk to blend well
- Place the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a medium bowl and whisk to combine.
- Add half of the flour mixture and start to fold it gently. Mix in the remaining flour until evenly combined.
- Spoon ⅓ of the batter into a separate bowl and add cocoa and hot water. Mix until just combined and smooth.
- Alternate ⅓ cup scoops of vanilla and chocolate batter into the center of prepared loaf pan until all batter is added. Tap loaf pan onto the counter a few times to minimize air bubbles, then gently swirl with a butter knife or toothpick to marble the top of the loaf. Set aside to rest for 30 minutes while you preheat the oven.
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
- For a nice split down the center of the loaf, run your spatula down the middle lengthwise.
- Bake in preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick in the center of the cake comes out clean. If your loaf starts to brown too much after 40 minutes of baking, tent with foil.
- Allow your loaf to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then use the parchment paper to help remove it to a wire rack to cool completely.
