Chocolate Marble Bread

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

3. 3

   In a separate bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.

4. 4

   Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

5. 5

   Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

6. 6

   Divide the batter into two bowls. Stir the cocoa powder into one of the bowls until fully incorporated.

7. 7

   Spoon the batters alternately into the prepared loaf pan, then use a knife to swirl them together to create a marbled effect.

8. 8

   Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

9. 9

   Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
