Ingredients

- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup butter softened
- 3 units eggs

- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.

- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

- Divide the batter into three equal parts. Stir cocoa powder into one part, strawberry jam into another part, and leave the last part plain.

This recipe is amazing! I made it for my family and they loved it. The marble effect is really pretty. 5 stars!
Just tried this! Mine came out too dry, I think I might have overbaked it?? 😩 Do you guys have any tips for me? 2 stars.
Nah, I think you probably just need to adjust your oven temp. Every oven is different, you know? Or maybe try adding more jam next time for extra moisture!
Overbaking can definitely make it dry! Maybe try checking it a bit earlier next time? Also, adding a bit more milk might help with moisture. Good luck! 🍰
I don’t know about the strawberry jam, sounds weird to me. Would it work with something else? Maybe just more cocoa? Not sure if I’ll try it. 3/5
