Sometimes all we wish for is a piece of old-good-fashion chocolate cake to warm our heart and remind us that our happiest moments are held in simple pleasures.
Easy, super moist and generously yummy, this Marble Cake recipe is unanimously an all-time favorite. As most recipes incorporate cocoa powder, we prefer using real chocolate for a more intense, fudgy sensation. We also replaced the traditional cow milk with almond milk, a convenient choice as we always have almond milk in the fridge. Pick the milk of your choice, this is not going to affect the result.

Serves 8-10
1/2 cup butter
2 cups flour
2/3 cup white granulated sugar (or half-white sugar + half-coconut sugar, your choice)
130g dark chocolate
4 eggs (separated)
1 sachet of the french Alsa baking powder (can be replaced by 3 tsp of baking powder)
1 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup almond milk (or any kind, your choice)
A pinch of salt
1. Preheat the oven to 355F (180C)
2. Butter and flour a loaf pan and set aside.
3. Warm butter 30 second in the microwaves. It should come out creamy.
4. In a medium bowl, first whisk together the softened butter with sugar, then stir in egg yolks (place the egg whites in another bowl and set aside in the fridge).
5. Add the baking powder, milk and flour. Combine with energy. The batter should be smooth and creamy.
5. Transfer generously 1/3 of the batter to another medium bowl, in order to have two bowls with batter.
6. Melt chocolate in a double boiler: Place a large saucepan with a cup of water over high-medium heat, then add on top of it another saucepan of smaller size. Add the chocolate with 1 tbsp of water into a small saucepan. Wait until the chocolate melts before stirring.
7. Meanwhile, take the egg whites from the fridge, add a pinch of salt and whisk. Continue whisking until the egg whites stand upright when the whisk is lifted.
8. When chocolate is ready and smooth, mix it with the smaller batter.
9. Add the vanilla extract into the other batter and mix.
10. At this point, you should have one chocolate batter bowl, one vanilla batter bowl and one with whipped whites. Gently fold egg whites into each batter to create a light and fluffy consistency.
11. With two tablespoons, add one spoon at a time of each batter into the loaf pan, alternating just like a chess board looks like. Repeat in the opposite way for every level until all batter is used. It should fill the loaf pan but not too much either. Then, insert the handle of one of the tablespoon and swirl the batters together with a zig-zag and figure 8 motion.
12. Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour at 355F (180C). To make sure the cake is cooked, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake, it should come out clean.
