Chocolate Marble Pound Cake

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 minutes. Grease and flour 9×5 loaf pan.

In a mixing bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, and nutmeg.

In another bowl, beat butter with an electric mixer on medium speed for 30 seconds.

Gradually add sugar to butter, 2 tablespoon at a time, beating on medium speed about 6 minutes.

Batter should look light and fluffy. Add vanilla.

Add eggs, one at a time, beating 1 minute after each addition, scraping bowl often.

Gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture, beating on low just until combined.

To ⅓ of the batter, about 1½ cups, add chocolate syrup.

Stir until combined. Spoon half of the light batter into prepared pan.

Top with the chocolate batter, then the remaining light batter.

Using a knife, cut a zigzag pattern through the batter.

Bake for 55 to 65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.

Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes.

Remove cake from pan.

Cool thoroughly on a wire rack.
