Chocolate Banana Marble Cake

Ingredients

• 2 cup unbleached, all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 3/4 cup neutral oil
• 1 1/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
• 3 ripe bananas (mashed)
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 3 egg (beaten)
• 6 tbsp plain yogurt
• 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 tbsp powdered sugar

Instructions

1. 1

   Heat oven to 350F. Spray bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray.

2. 2

   In a mixing bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

3. 3

   In another mixing bowl (I used my Kitchenaid), combine the oil, sugar, and bananas. Beat until smooth. Mix in the vanilla, eggs, and yogurt. Blend until smooth.

4. 4

   Fold wet ingredients in dry ingredients, combining just until blended.

5. 5

   Divide the batter into two bowls, about 3/5 in one and 2/5 in the other.

6. 6

   Add the cocoa powder to the smaller amount of batter and stir until just combined.

7. 7

   Spoon the two batters in dollops around the bundt pan, alternating the colors.

8. 8

   Use a knife to swirl the different colored batters together, taking care not to mix them too much.

9. 9

   Bake the for 35-40 minutes or until tester comes out with just a few crumbs attached. Cool the cake in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Carefully, run a rubber spatula around the edges of pan to loosen cake. Invert the pan onto a cooling rack and remove pan. Cool completely. Transfer to serving dish. Sift powdered sugar over top.
