1 tsp of baking powder
2 tbsp of cocoa powder
1-2 tbsp of hot water

How to Make Banana Marble Pound Cake:

Step 1

Cut the banana into small pieces, then add them to a bowl, and mash them with a fork until smooth. In a separate bowl, add the eggs, salt, and sugar, then give them a good mix, and add the oil, mashed bananas, and vanilla extract.

Step 2

Continue to mix until well combined, then sift over the cake flour, ground almonds, and baking powder, and mix them until smooth and glossy. Separate about 200 grams or ¾ cup of the batter, then in a separate bowl, mix the cocoa powder and hot water, and add it to the separated dough.

Step 3

Transfer the batter to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, scoop them in dollops alternately, then swirl them lightly with a skewer, and place the cake in a preheated oven at 170°C or 338°F. Allow it to bake for about 35 to 40 minutes, then let cool, and unmold. Serve and enjoy!
