Ingredients




2 sticks salted butter softened
1 1/3 cups sugar
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/8 cup sour cream
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup powdered malted chocolate milk mix like Ovaltine

Preparation

1 Preheat oven to 350. 2 Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about five minutes. Slowly add in the flour, and mix to combine. Don't over-mix! 3 In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla, and sour cream. Slowly add into batter and mix just until combined. Remove 1/3 of the batter from the bowl, and put into a separate bowl. Mix in the chocolate milk mix until well combined. 4 Place the vanilla batter into a tube pan that's been prepared with baking spray. Spread out evenly in the pan. Place spoonfuls of the chocolate batter all around the top of the vanilla batter. Use a butter knife to swirl the chocolate into the vanilla. Tap the pan several times on the counter to distribute batter and eliminate any gaps. 5 Bake for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, and then invert onto serving tray.
