Ingredients

Scale

Batter Ingredients

  • 200g all-purpose flour
  • 150g sugar
  • 100g butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 100ml milk
  • 100g cocoa powder

Topping

  • 150g dark chocolate ganache

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a loaf pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Make the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, softened butter, eggs, and milk. Mix these ingredients together until you achieve a smooth and well-incorporated batter without lumps.
  3. Divide and Add Cocoa: Split the batter into two equal parts. To one half, sift and fold in the cocoa powder carefully until fully combined to create the chocolate batter.
  4. Layer the Batters: In the prepared loaf pan, alternately spoon in layers of vanilla and chocolate batter to create a beautiful swirl effect. You can use a skewer or knife to gently swirl the two batters together for a marbled look.
  5. Bake the Loaf: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 50 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
  6. Cool and Add Ganache: Allow the loaf to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, pour the dark chocolate ganache over the top of the loaf and let it set before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature to get the best batter consistency.
  • If a glossy ganache finish is preferred, warm the ganache slightly before pouring it over the cake.
  • Store the loaf covered at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
  • This loaf can be served with a dusting of powdered sugar or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra decadence.
