How to Make Vanilla Marbled Pound Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan.
  2. Whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
  3. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 4 large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Stir in 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.
  6. In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup plain vanilla yogurt.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the yogurt, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  8. Divide the batter in half.
  9. To one half of the batter, add 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder and 1 cup chocolate chunks. Mix until well combined.
  10. Spoon about 2/3 of the vanilla batter into the prepared bundt pan.
  11. Spoon the chocolate batter over the vanilla batter. Using a knife or toothpick, gently swirl the batters together to create a marble effect.
  12. Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  13. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
