- Mix the cake flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda together.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together for about 2 minutes, then add the sour cream and beat until light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and egg yolks, then alternate adding the flour mixture and egg mixture to the butter mixture, starting and ending with flour.
- Stir in the vanilla and almond extracts, scraping down the sides of the bowl.
- In a small bowl, mix the cocoa powder, coffee, and hot water to create a smooth chocolate paste.
- Fold the chocolate paste into about ⅓ of the cake batter, mixing well.
- Spoon the vanilla and chocolate batters into the prepared pan alternately to create a checkerboard pattern.
- Use a large spoon to cut and twist through the batters to create a marbled effect, then tap the pan to remove air pockets.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a tester comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
