Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round pan.
Step 2
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30 to 35 minutes. Cool briefly on a wire rack before inverting carefully onto a serving plate or cooling rack. Let cool completely.
Step 3
Place flour, sugar, milk, eggs, butter, baking powder, vanilla, and salt into a large bowl.
Step 4
Mix slowly to moisten, then beat with an electric mixer at medium speed for about 2 minutes until smooth.
Step 5
Reserve 3/4 cup batter; pour remaining batter into the prepared pan.
Step 6
Stir cocoa into reserved batter until even in color.
Step 7
Drop chocolate batter by large spoonfuls on top of vanilla batter; swirl cocoa batter into white batter using a knife to create a marbled appearance.
