Ingredients
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup buttermilk
¼ cup boiling water
¼ cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with an electric mixer until creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Alternately add the dry ingredients and the buttermilk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly into two bowls. To one bowl, add the boiling water and mix until smooth. To the other bowl, add the vegetable oil and apple cider vinegar and mix well.
- Spoon the chocolate batter into the bundt pan, followed by the vanilla batter. Use a knife or skewer to swirl the two batters together, creating a marbled effect.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
