Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tbsp vanilla
  • 2/3 cup (1 small container) greek yogurt plain or vanilla
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350° F. Grease and set aside 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 3-5 minutes.
  • Add vanilla. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Mix in greek yogurt.
  • Once fully combined, add salt, baking powder, and half the flour. Mix until incorporated.
  • Add the milk and stir. Once incorporated, add the rest of the flour.
  • Remove half of the batter from the bowl and set aside. This will be the vanilla cake.
  • Add the cocoa powder to the remaining batter and mix until fully combined.
  • Add the batter to the prepared loaf pan. Alternate scoops of chocolate and vanilla batter. Once all batter is in the pan, use a butter knife to swirl the flavors together.
  • Bake at 350°F for around 1 hours and 20 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Let cool fully before slicing. Enjoy!
