Mini Marbled Pound Cake

Because sometimes you just want cake, but don't want/need to make a huge one. This is made in a mini loaf tin. Feel free to whip up a quick glaze to drizzle over the top if you'd like, but I think it's great as is. Recipe adapted from : dessertfortwo.com

Ingredient

Food ration :

1 small cake

4 tbsp.

unsalted butter, softened to room temperature

1/2 cup

granulated sugar

large egg, room temperature

1/4 tsp.

vanilla extract

1/2 cup

all purpose flour

1/8 tsp.

baking powder

3 tbsp.

+ 1 tsp. milk, divided

2 tbsp.

cocoa powder

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a mini loaf tin (5 3/4 x 3 x 2") with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.

* Step 2

In a medium bowl, using a hand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy and lighter in color. Then mix in the egg and vanilla.

* Step 3

Mix in about half of the flour mixture and the baking powder. Then mix in the 3 tbsp. of milk, then the remaining flour, until just combined.

* Step 4

Move 2 heaping tbsp. of the batter to a separate bowl...this will be your chocolate batter. Pour the remaining batter into the loaf tin.

* Step 5

To the additional 2 tbsp. of batter, stir in the remaining 1 tsp. of milk and the cocoa powder. Once well blended, place dollops of the chocolate batter over the top of the other batter and swirl it together with either a toothpick or knife.

* Step 6

Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with just a few moist crumbs. You may want to cover you loaf tin loosely with foil after the 25 minute mark. This isn't called for in the original recipe, but I think mine browned a bit too much around the edges.
