Bolo mármore

Ingredientes

• 3/4 cup cocoa powder
• 2 1/2 cups sugar, divided
• 1/3 cup hot water
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla powder (or 2 teaspoons vanilla extract)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 5 eggs
• 1 cup olive oil
• 1 cup milk
• 1/3 cup icing sugar, (optional)

Modo de preparo

1. 1

   preheat: Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. 2

   combine: In a medium sized bowl combine the cocoa powder, 1/2 cup (120 grams) of sugar and the hot water. Stir well to combine and set aside.

3. 3

   whisk: In another small bowl combine the flour, baking powder, vanilla powder and salt. Whisk until well combined.

4. 4

   beat: In the large bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the remaining sugar (2 cups or 400 grams) and the eggs until well combined. Slowly pour in the olive oil and continue to mix.

5. 5

   beat: With the speed set to low, carefully add 1/2 of the flour mixture to the oil/egg/sugar combination in the stand mixer. Beat until well combined. Pour in 1/2 cup (125 ml) of milk. Continue beating and then add the remaining flour, followed by the remaining milk. Scrape down the sides of the bowl using a rubber spatula and then beat well for a minute until all of the ingredients are well combined.

6. 6

   whisk: Remove approximately 3 cups of this cake batter and add it to the bowl which contains the cocoa powder, sugar and water. Using a whisk mix it well by hand so that all of the plain batter is combined with the cocoa batter.

7. 7

   pour: Grease a bundt pan. Pour enough of the plain batter into the pan to cover the bottom surface. Then, using a large spoon, drop spoonfuls of the cocoa batter on top of the plain batter. Leave approximately 1/3 of the cocoa batter in the bowl.

8. 8

   Pour the remaining vanilla batter into the bundt pan, and then pour in the rest of the cocoa batter.

9. 9

   Bake in the middle rack of your oven for 50 – 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

10. 10

    cool: Allow the cake to cool in the bundt pan for approximately 10-12 minutes before removing it. Set it to cool on a baking rack.

11. 11

    dust: When your cake has completely cooled, dust it with icing sugar.
