Ingredients

Servings

• 2 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoon Cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Salt
• ¹⁄₂ cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• ¹⁄₂ cup Buttermilk
• 2 teaspoon Red food coloring
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 2 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 cup Powdered sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix until just combined.
5. Divide the batter in half. In one half, stir in the red food coloring. In the other half, stir in the lemon zest and lemon juice.
6. Spoon alternating dollops of the red and lemon batters into the prepared loaf pan. Use a knife to gently swirl the batters together to create a marbled effect.
7. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Once cooled, dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar.
10. Slice and serve.
