Vanilla and Chocolate Pound Cake, a super soft and fragrant cake perfect for breakfast, snack, but also if we need a little and very soft cuddle. Very easy to prepare, it only takes a few minutes, we love to enjoy it with a good cup of steaming tea, but even with milk and cocoa, it’s a wonder. Without butter, I prepared it with seed oil, but you can easily replace the weight of the oil with that of butter. We can also prepare it entirely with vanilla or entirely with cocoa, depending on our tastes. If you love pound cakes, try the lemon pound cake or the chocolate pound cake. Also delicious is the oat flour lemon pound cake or the irresistible coconut pound cake. Let’s get to work and prepare the Vanilla and Chocolate Pound Cake together.

Preparation
Break the eggs and beat them with the sugar for at least 5 minutes. Room temperature eggs whip better, so if you can, take them out of the fridge 10 minutes before using. While still beating, gradually add the vegetable oil.
Sift the flour and cornstarch and gently incorporate into the eggs, stirring with the milk.
Add the yogurt, vanilla, and salt, and work until you have a homogeneous mixture. Divide the mixture in half and incorporate the unsweetened cocoa powder into one part.
Line a loaf pan with parchment paper. Pour the white batter and then the dark one, making several layers. Stir gently to marble. Bake in a preheated static oven at 356°F for about 45 minutes, performing the toothpick test to check for doneness. Let it cool and serve with powdered sugar.
Storage
You can keep the pound cake for a few days under a glass dome.
