12 servings

•

1 ½ cups unsalted butter, at room temperature
•

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature
•

3 cups white sugar
•

1 ½ teaspoons almond extract
•

1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract

1 teaspoon salt
•

1 teaspoon baking powder
•

6 large eggs, at room temperature

⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
Beat butter and cream cheese together in a bowl using an electric mixer until well combined. Add sugar and beat until fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Mix almond extract, vanilla extract, salt, and baking powder into creamed mixture; beat in 2 eggs. Add 1 cup flour and mix well. Add 2 eggs and mix well. Add 1 cup flour and mix well. Add last 2 eggs and mix well. Add remaining 1 cup flour and mix until batter is smooth.
Remove 2 cups batter and place in a separate bowl; stir in cocoa powder. Pour 1/2 of the plain batter into the prepared pan; add 1/2 of the chocolate batter and swirl with a knife. Repeat with remaining plain batter and chocolate batter, swirling gently.
Place pan in the middle rack of the preheated oven; bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 90 minutes.
