Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

- Melt the 3/4 cup (170g) of dark chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave in short bursts, stirring until smooth.
- Let it cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the 2/3 cup (150g) butter and 1.25 cups (250g) sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add the 1 tsp (4g) vanilla extract and mix well.
- Add the 3 eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Mix in the 3/4 cup (170g) sour cream until combined.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the 1.5 cups (190g) all-purpose flour and 1 tsp (5g) baking powder.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
- In another small bowl, mix the 2 tbsp (30g) sugar, 1/2 cup (60g) chopped pecans, and 1/2 cup (120g) dark chocolate together.
- Stir in 1/3 cup (72g) light sour cream and 1/4 cup (60g) milk to the chocolate mixture.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan.
- Spoon the chocolate swirl mixture over the batter.
- Top with the remaining batter, spreading it evenly.
- Use a knife to gently swirl the batter for a marbled effect.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once completely cooled, slice and serve your delicious Sour Cream Chocolate Swirl Cake.
Tips:
- Ensure the butter and eggs are at room temperature before mixing to achieve a smooth batter.
- Gently fold in the chocolate and pecans to maintain their texture and prevent overmixing.
- Use a toothpick to swirl the chocolate mixture into the batter for a beautiful marbled effect.
