Method: Baking

Course: Cakes

Servings: 16 Squares

Ingredients

Part 1:

¾ cup unsalted butter softened
1 and ½ cups sugar
½ cup plain yogurt for 2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Part 2:

2 and ¼ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup milk whole

Part 3:

1 tablespoon milk whole
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9x13 pan with parchment.
In a large bowl sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; set aside.
In another large bowl add the butter and sugar and cream well together.
Add in the yogurt, vanilla extract and vinegar and then beat again.
Add in ½ the flour mix. Add in the milk and beat again.
Lastly add in the remaining flour mix and beat until smooth.
Spoon ⅔ of the batter into the prepared pan.
In the same bowl, to the remaining batter add the cocoa powder, sugar and 1 tablespoon milk. Mix until smooth.
Spoon the chocolate batter randomly over the vanilla batter in the pan.
Take a butter knife and drag it back and forth through the batter the entire length of the pan. Then do the same thing the entire width of the pan.
Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake should come out clean. Mine was done in 27 minutes.

Notes

I didn't follow the original recipe when it said less is better while mixing the batter to get the marbled effect. I was not sure if I had done it right and so went back and forth a couple of times and it did mess up the "marbled" appearance when the cake came out of the oven. So just one time each on either side should be fine and I can't emphasize it enough.
