Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour Holds everything together and gives that lovely, tender crumb.
- 1/2 cup sugar For sweetness and to create a golden crust.
- 1 teaspoon baking powder Helps the cake rise to fluffy perfection.
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder Provides the rich, chocolatey flavor.
Wet Ingredients

- 2 pieces eggs Acts as a binder and helps with the cake's texture.
- 1/2 cup milk Keeps the cake tender and moist.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Infuses the cake with warm, homemade flavor.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour your cake pan.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, combine the flour and baking powder. Gradually add this mixture to the creamed mixture, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the flour.
Baking
- Once mixed, divide the batter in half and mix cocoa powder into one half.
- Spoon the batters alternately into the prepared pan and swirl with a knife for marbling.
- Bake for about 30-35 minutes, checking doneness with a toothpick.

Notes
Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature for better texture. Don't rush the creaming step to avoid a dense cake.
