Delicious cake combining vanilla and chocolate flavors.
Servings: 16 portions
Ingredients
- 280 g All-purpose wheat flour (2 cups)
- 2 tsp. Baking powder
- ½ tsp. Baking soda
- ½ tsp. Salt
- 40 g Cocoa powder (5 ½ Tbsp.)
- 4 medium Eggs (room temp.)
- 200 g Soft unsalted butter (¾ Cup + 1 Tbsp)
- 330 g Sugar (1 ⅔ Cup)
- 1 Tsp. Vanilla paste
- 125 ml Buttermilk (or the substitute) (½ Cup) Room temp.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 160°C / 320°F.
- Prepare a 26cm diameter bundt pan with non stick cooking spray.
- In a bowl sift the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Mix and set aside.
- In the mixer bowl add the butter, sugar and vanilla.
- Beat on high speed for 5 minutes until fluffy and pale.
- Stop the mixer and with a spatula go around the sides and bottom of the bowl.
- Beat at medium low speed and add the eggs one by one. Let the egg incorporate well before adding the next.
- Stop the mixer again and go through the bowl with the spatula.
- Beat again now at minimum speed and gradually add the dry ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk.
- Once everything is incorporated, transfer half of the mixture to the prepared bundt pan.
- On the other half of the batter sift the cocoa powder. Mix until you get a chocolate batter.
- Add the chocolate mixture to the bundt pan and mix a little with a spatula or teaspoon, to make the marbled effect. Do not over mix.
- Transfer to the preheated oven and bake for approximately 40 minutes or until puffed and golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the deepest part of the cake comes out completely clean.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes on a wire rack.
- Unmold onto rack and let cool completely to room temperature.
- Once cold, you can sprinkle with icing sugar before serving.
