Ingredients

• 90 g unsalted butter
• 2 g of salt
• 170 g sugar
• 1 large egg
• 125 g heavy cream
• - 125 g flour
• - 3 g of baking powder
• 15 g unsweetened cocoa powder
• 40 g of kinako

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 150°C and line a loaf pan.
2. Sift the flour with the baking powder, then set aside.
3. Beat the sugar, salt, and softened butter until the mixture is creamy.
4. Add the egg and beat until the mixture turns pale (about 5 minutes using an electric mixer).

6. Divide the dough in half: add the cocoa to one half and the kinako to the other.
7. Pour the two batters into the pan, alternating between them, then create a marbled effect. Bake.
8. Let it cool completely on a wire rack.
