Marble Loaf Cake

It's our official anniversary today. We had a nice dinner out last night and today I wanted to make a turkey, with green beans, garlic mashed potatoes and stuffing. I also wanted an anniversary cake ...but couldn't decide on chocolate or vanilla, so I went with a mix of both.

Dry:

1 & 3/4 cup sifted cake flour

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

Wet:

1/2 cup butter- room temp

1 cup sugar

4 eggs

1/3 cup milk

3 tbsps sour cream

1 tsp vanilla extract

Chocolate marble part:

Once you have your batter made, in a medium sized bowl, mix together 1 cup of the cake batter, 1/4 cup hot water, 1/3 cup cocoa powder.

-Grease your loaf dish

-Preheat oven to 350

1. Sift together dry ingredients in a bowl.

2. For wet mix, beat butter and sugar, then add eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla.

3. In a seperate bowl, whisk together sour cream and milk until frothy.

4. Add dry to wet mix, alternating with the milk mix.

5. Mix well, then don't forget to RESERVE YOUR 1 CUP of BATTER for CHOCOLATE PART and make it (see above).

6. Add half white mixture to loaf dish, then half choco mix, followed by the rest of the white batter, then rest of the choco part. Use a long skewer to make your marbling pattern.

7. Bake for 1 hour (test with your skewer).

8. Let rest for 5 minutes, then remove from loaf dish and allow to cool on a wire rack.

Serve with fresh/frozen berries ...

Moolicious dessert!
