Equipment

  • 1 8.4 x 4.5 loaf

Ingredients
  

For the Cake Batter:

  • 180 g unsalted butter browned
  • 200 g granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs room temperature
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 160 g cream cheese room temperature
  • 220 g all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp baking powder

For the Flavor Swirls:

  • 4 tsp instant coffee mixed with 2 tbsp hot water
  • 25 g cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon powder

Instructions
 

  • In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, stirring often until it turns golden brown and smells nutty.
  • Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the browned butter and sugar until combined.
  • Add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition.
  • Stir in vanilla extract and cream cheese, mixing until smooth.
  • Sift in flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Fold gently until no dry streaks remain.
  • Divide the batter into two equal portions.
  • In one half, add the cocoa powder and dissolved coffee mixture; mix until smooth.
  • In the other half, add the cinnamon powder and mix well.
  • Lightly grease and line an 8.5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
  • Alternate spoonfuls of the coffee-cocoa batter and cinnamon batter into the pan.
  • Use a knife or skewer to swirl gently for a marbled effect.
  • Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 40–45 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
