Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup butter, room temperature
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 3/4 cups all purpose flour
- 3/4 cup milk
- 2/3 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Frosting (optional)
- 6 tablespoons butter, room temperature
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Coat a 10- cup bundt pan with baking spray. Set aside.
- In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment mix the butter and sugar on medium speed for 3 minutes, until light and fluffy.
- Add the vanilla, eggs, sour cream, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and mix until smooth, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary.
- Turn the mixer to low. Add the flour and the milk in alternating additions, beginning and ending with the flour. Mix until just combined. Stir in the mini chocolate chips.
- Divide the batter in half in 2 bowls. Add the cocoa powder into one half of the batter and stir to combine.
- Scoop portions of the batter into the prepared pan, alternating between chocolate and vanilla. When all the batter is in the pan use a butter knife to swirl the batter, creating the marble effect.
- Bake for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool the cake in the pan for 20 minutes, and then invert the pan onto a cake plate or wire rack to cool completely.
- For the frosting combine the butter, cocoa powder, and powdered sugar in the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment for 1 minute. Add in the vanilla and the milk and mix for 2 minutes until smooth and creamy, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary.
- Spread the frosting on the top of the cake.
