Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 3 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, beat softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes). Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Gradually combine dry ingredients with the wet mixture, alternating with milk until just combined.
- Divide half the batter into another bowl; mix in cocoa powder until fully blended.
- Spoon dollops of both batters alternately into the prepared pan. Use a knife to swirl gently for a marbled effect.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
