Instructions

Step 1

Start by beating the butter in a bowl until it’s soft and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Step 2

Mix in the powdered sugar until everything is combined, then stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 3

Gradually add the flour and baking powder, mixing just until everything comes together.

Step 4

Divide the batter into two bowls. To one bowl, add the cocoa powder and milk, then mix until smooth.

Step 5

Pour a layer of the plain batter into your baking tin, then add a layer of the chocolate batter. Keep alternating the two batters until they’re all used up.

Step 6

Use a toothpick or skewer to swirl through the batter and create a marbled effect.

Step 7

Bake at 180°C for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Let the cake cool before slicing and enjoy it with a nice cup of tea!
