Ingredients
1½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 cup plain yogurt
¾ cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder.
- In another bowl, mix yogurt, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing until combined.
- Divide batter into two portions; stir cocoa powder into one portion to create chocolate batter.
- Alternately spoon vanilla and chocolate batter into the loaf pan.
- Gently swirl a knife through the batter to create a marble effect.
- Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Add chopped nuts or chocolate chips for extra texture.
- Swap all-purpose flour for whole wheat for a nuttier flavor.
- Add orange zest to vanilla batter for a citrus twist.
- Greek yogurt can be used for a denser texture.
- Freezes well for up to 2 months; reheat slices in microwave for 15 seconds.
