Marbled Chocolate Crunch Cake

A moist marbled loaf cake with a crunchy chocolate shell, perfect for family brunch or a sweet weekend treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 7 oz milk chocolate (or dark, if preferred)
  • 1/2 cup crushed hazelnuts or puffed rice
  • 1 tbsp neutral oil (optional, for smoothness)

Instructions

  1. Beat softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Add eggs one at a time, then fold in flour and baking powder. Mix in milk and vanilla.
  3. Divide the batter in two. Mix cocoa powder into one half. Alternately spoon each batter into a loaf pan and swirl with a knife.
  4. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely.
  5. Melt chocolate with oil (if using), stir in crushed hazelnuts or puffed rice, and pour over the loaf. Chill until set.

Notes

  • For a smoother chocolate coating, use neutral oil.
  • Let the cake cool completely before adding the chocolate topping.
  • Store in the fridge for a firmer texture.
