Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp baking soda
• ¼ tsp salt
• 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
• ½ cup powdered erythritol (or sugar substitute of choice)
• 2 tbsp light butter, melted
• ⅓ cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
• ⅓ cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 egg

Instructions

Preheat and Prep
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a 9×5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray or line with parchment paper.

Mix the Batter
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, combine erythritol, melted butter, yogurt, milk, vanilla, and egg. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined—don’t overmix.

Divide and Flavor
Split the batter into two bowls. Stir the cocoa powder into one half until well blended.

Swirl and Bake
Spoon alternating dollops of vanilla and chocolate batter into the loaf pan. Use a knife to gently swirl the batters together for a marbled effect. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cool and Slice
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!
