Description
A delightful balance of vanilla and chocolate flavors, perfect for any occasion and easy for all baking skill levels.
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cup (150 gr) sugar
- 8 oz (225 gr) plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups (250 gr) all-purpose flour
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons (20 gr) unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 375F (190C).
- Line a 9-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar until light and foamy.
- Add the yogurt, oil, and vanilla extract. Beat well.
- Sift in the flour, salt, and baking powder. Beat at low speed, or mix with a whisk until just combined.
- Pour half of the batter into a different bowl. Sift the cocoa powder into half of the batter and mix until combined.
- Spoon some of the vanilla batter and some of the chocolate batter into the loaf pan, alternating the two colors. To create a marble effect, dip a non-pointy knife all the way to the bottom of the batter and do a zigzag movement along the pan to mix gently.
- Bake at 375F for 20 minutes. Lower the temperature to 350F without opening the oven and bake for another 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Wait for the loaf to cool for a couple of minutes before removing it from the pan and slicing. Enjoy!
Notes
Serve warm or at room temperature. Pairs well with ice cream or whipped cream.
