Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 🍞
1 tsp baking powder 🥄
1/4 tsp salt 🧂
1 cup unsalted butter, softened 🧈
1 cup granulated sugar 🍚
4 large eggs 🥚
1 tsp vanilla extract 🌿
1/4 cup milk 🥛
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 🍫
1/4 cup hot water 🌊
1/2 cup raspberry preserves 🍇
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla.
Gradually mix in flour mixture, alternating with milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture.
In a small bowl, combine cocoa powder and hot water. Stir until smooth.
Remove 1 cup of the batter and mix it with the cocoa mixture.
Spoon plain and chocolate batters alternately into the prepared loaf pan. Use a knife to gently swirl the batters together to create a marbled effect.
Spoon raspberry preserves over the batter and swirl gently with a knife.
Bake in preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then remove from pan and cool completely on a wire rack.
