Instructions

How to bake a marbled coffee-cake:

  1. The Espresso Part:
    • Pour hot coffee over cocoa powder and small chocolate chunks, stirring the mixture to facilitate melting.
    • If the chocolate isn't fully melted, microwave it for 30 seconds.
    • Once the mixture has cooled, add half of the sour cream and thoroughly combine it.
  2. Butter and Sugar:
    • take butter + sugar and add it to a bowl.
    • mix  until creamy.
    • add in the eggs (one at the time)
  3. Marbelous:
    • Combine flour and baking soda in a separate bowl.
    • Add the melted chocolate-sour cream mixture to HALF of the creamy butter and mix until combined. Then, add half of the flour and mix again.
    • In a separate bowl, mix half of the sour cream with the remaining butter mixture and add the rest of the flour as well as the vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
    • You should now have two batters, one chocolate and one vanilla.
    • Use a generous tablespoon to drop dollops of each batter into the prepared pan in a checkerboard-like pattern until you've used all of the batter.
    • Bake at 180°C for 45 minutes.
    if you are using a bundt-cake pan - make sure to grease butter all over it and cover it with cocoa powder. after that you can add in the cake-batter.
