Ingredients
  

  • 3 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3 sticks margarine or unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3 cups all-purpose wheat flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 4 tiles chocolate powder (like Nesquik or cocoa powder)

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Electric hand mixer or stand mixer
  • Medium bowl
  • Rubber spatula
  • Bundt or loaf pan
  • Wire cooling rack
  • Dinner fork or knife

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat together eggs, sugar, and softened margarine until pale and fluffy.
  2. Gradually add flour and milk alternately, mixing on low speed until combined.
  3. Fold in the baking powder gently until just incorporated.
  4. Divide half the batter into a medium bowl and mix in the chocolate powder until well combined.
  5. Grease and flour a Bundt or loaf pan, then alternate scoops of vanilla and chocolate batter into the pan.
  6. Use a dinner fork to create swirls through the batters without mixing them entirely.
  7. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 40-50 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Cool the cake in the pan for 15 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.

Notes

For a richer flavor, feel free to substitute unsalted butter for margarine. Experiment with different variations, such as adding orange zest or coffee for a mocha flavor! Make sure to store the cake properly in an airtight container to keep it fresh for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage. Don't open the oven door during the first 30 minutes to avoid collapsing the cake during rise. Enjoy your baking!
