Directions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 350 °F (180 °C). Grease and flour a medium bundt pan.
- 2
In a large bowl, beat the sugar, softened butter and eggs together until pale, creamy and smooth.
- 3
Gradually mix in the flour, milk and baking powder, alternating between dry and wet ingredients. Stir until a smooth, lump-free batter forms.
- 4
Pour two-thirds of the batter into the prepared bundt pan and spread evenly.
- 5
Stir the cocoa powder into the remaining batter until fully combined and deeply chocolatey.
- 6
Spoon the chocolate batter over the plain batter in the pan.
- 7
Use a fork or skewer to gently swirl the two batters together in a figure-eight motion. Be careful not to over-mix — you want distinct swirls.
- 8
Bake for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before unmolding.
💡 Chef's Tip
For extra richness, substitute the cocoa powder with 2 oz of melted dark chocolate. A teaspoon of vanilla extract in the plain batter adds wonderful depth.
