Ingredients
Scale
-
For the Cake:
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Cream the Butter & Sugar: Beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add the Eggs: Mix in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Alternate Mixing: Gradually add the dry ingredients and whole milk to the butter and sugar mixture, alternating between them until fully combined.
- Create Chocolate Batter: Separate about ⅓ of the batter into another bowl and mix with cocoa powder until fully incorporated.
- Swirl the Batters: Pour the vanilla batter into a greased pan, followed by the chocolate batter. Use a knife to swirl the two batters together, creating a marble effect.
- Bake: Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool & Serve: Let the cake cool completely before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For extra richness, you can add a little more vanilla extract to the batter.
- Feel free to add a dusting of powdered sugar or a chocolate glaze on top for an even more decadent finish.
