Equipment
- 1 9x5 inch loaf pan
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup and 3 tbsp cane sugar can add a tad more if desired
- 1 1/2 tbsp cocoa powder
Wet Ingredients
- 1 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp unsweetened applesauce
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 5 tbsp vegetable or organic canola oil a mild extra virgin olive oil can also be used
- 1 1/4 cups + 1 tbsp dairy-free or regular milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Grease or oil the loaf pan, and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly combine all of the dry ingredients, except for the cocoa powder.
- Add in the wet ingredients.Combine* until a mostly smooth batter forms. The batter will be mostly thick and gloopy, which is normal.*Make sure that all flour from the bottom of the bowl has been incorporated into the batter as well
- Add 3/4 cup of the batter to a small bowl along with the cocoa powder. Combine until mostly smooth.
- Add some of the vanilla batter to the loaf pan(make sure it’s greased). After that, add some of the chocolate batter (by spoonfuls); then swirl gently with the knife.Add more of the vanilla batter on top. Then add more spoonfuls of chocolate batter, and swirl through with the knife. Repeat until all of the batter is gone, then make sure to swirl the knife through the top of the batter.
- Bake for 51-52 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.*Cover the loaf loosely with foil about 10 minutes before finished baking. This is optional, but will help the crust to not over-bake or get too hard*
- After it’s finished baking, cool the cake in the pan for a few minutes. Then transfer the loaf to finish cooling on a wire rack or other surface before serving.The crust of the loaf will soften more, after it’s stored overnight at room temp. Or it can be stored in the fridge for a few days.
