• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 teaspoons baking powder

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.
