- 90 g cocoa powder
- 150 g chocolate (baking chocolate)

Cake:
Instructions
- The Espresso Part:
- Pour hot coffee over cocoa powder and small chocolate chunks, stirring the mixture to facilitate melting.
- If the chocolate isn't fully melted, microwave it for 30 seconds.
- Once the mixture has cooled, add half of the sour cream and thoroughly combine it.
- Butter and Sugar:
- take butter + sugar and add it to a bowl.
- mix until creamy.
- add in the eggs (one at the time)
- Marbelous:
- Combine flour and baking soda in a separate bowl.
- Add the melted chocolate-sour cream mixture to HALF of the creamy butter and mix until combined. Then, add half of the flour and mix again.
- In a separate bowl, mix half of the sour cream with the remaining butter mixture and add the rest of the flour as well as the vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
- You should now have two batters, one chocolate and one vanilla.
- Use a generous tablespoon to drop dollops of each batter into the prepared pan in a checkerboard-like pattern until you've used all of the batter.
- Bake at 180°C for 45 minutes.
if you are using a bundt-cake pan - make sure to grease butter all over it and cover it with cocoa powder. after that you can add in the cake-batter.
