Marble Pound Cake Recipe

🧂 Ingredients

• 2 cups All purpose flour
• 1 pinch Salt*
• 1 ½ teaspoon Baking powder
• 2 large Eggs (room temperature)
• 1 large Yolk (room temperature)
• 1 ⅓ cups Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Butter – room temperature
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• ½ cup 2% Milk – room temperature
• 5 ounces Dark chocolate – chopped
• 2 ¾ ounces Semi sweet chocolate chips
• ¼ cup Cream – whole, heavy or whipping cream (with at least 30% fat)
• 2 tablespoons Butter

Instructions

• 1 Pre-heat the oven to 350 F (180C) and grease and flour a 9 inch loaf pan.
• 2 In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, salt and baking powder and set aside.
• 3 Melt 5 ounces of chopped dark chocolate in a bowl over a bain-marie stirring
  occasionally until smooth. Let the chocolate cool a bit.
• 4 In a large bowl beat together the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy, about
  3 to 4 minutes. Add the vanilla extract and the eggs plus yolk, one at a time
  and beat. Add the flour and milk mixtures alternately. Mix just until combined.
• 5 Pour ⅔ of the batter in the loaf pan and pour the rest into the melted chocolate
  mixture. Stir well. Spoon the chocolate on top of the plain batter and swirl
  lightly with a knife.
• 6 Bake for approximately 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the
  loaf comes out clean. Let the bread cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then
  transfer it onto a cooling rack to finish cooling completely. Drizzle the
  chocolate glaze on top or dust with some powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy!
• 7 In a small pot heat the butter and cream until hot, but not boiling. Remove from
  the heat and add the chocolate chips. Stir until smooth. Let it cool to lukewarm
  and until it has thickened.
