Step1Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and lightly flour a 10-inch fluted tube pan; set aside. Set aside 1/2 cup of the cake flour or all-purpose flour. In a large bowl, combine the remaining 2 cups cake flour or 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, the baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step2In another large bowl, whisk together yogurt, the 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar, the oil, egg product, buttermilk, and vanilla. Add yogurt mixture to flour mixture; beat with a wire whisk just until combined. In a medium bowl, combine cocoa powder and the 2 tablespoons espresso powder. Add half of the yogurt mixture (about 2 cups) to the cocoa mixture, stirring until smooth; set aside. Add the reserved 1/2 cup flour to the remaining yogurt mixture, whisking just until combined.

Step3Spoon half of the white batter evenly into the prepared pan. Carefully spoon half of the chocolate batter atop the white batter in pan in an even layer. Repeat layers with remaining batter.

Step4Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Remove cake from pan. Place cake on a wire rack set over a sheet of waxed paper. Using a long wooden skewer, poke cake in several places all the way through to the bottom.
