Marble Cocoa Coffee Cake

Coffee cake, also called breakfast cake, is a most satisfying, easy-to-make cake. Cake mix or all-purpose flour, baking powder, and baking soda (for the leavening agent) can be used and a choice of fruits. The coffee cake which results after following the recipe that I will share here, when served as a dessert with vanilla ice cream, is so moist and delicious that no one could stop eating it. However, do not worry because all the bad fat is being replaced with good fat.

Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup coconut oil
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup nonfat yogurt
1/2 cup apple sauce
1/3 cup milk
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup cocoa powder
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°
Butter and flour a 9" x 9" tube pan and set aside.
Mix cocoa powder with confectioner's sugar well.
Combine applesauce, milk, and nonfat yogurt in a bowl.
Sift flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda in another bowl.
Using a stand mixer's beater attachment and mixing bowl, add eggs, sugar, butter and coconut oil. Beat this mixture until light and fluffy. With the machine running, add flour and applesauce mixture together into the egg-butter mixture until combined (use a spatula to scrape the side of the bowl of the machine, if necessary). Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan.

 Pour half of the batter into the cocoa powder mixture. Mix well and pour this mixture into the pan.

Use a butter knife to create the marble effect by swirling the two batters together.

Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
