Marble Cake

Recipe View Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan. (5 minutes)

Recipe View In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, milk, eggs, softened butter, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt. (2 minutes)

Recipe View Using an electric mixer, start on low speed to combine the ingredients, then increase to medium speed and beat for about 2 minutes, or until the batter is smooth and well combined. (2 minutes)

Recipe View Set aside 3/4 cup of the batter. Pour the remaining batter into the prepared cake pan. (1 minute)

Recipe View In the bowl with the reserved batter, add the cocoa powder. Stir until the cocoa powder is fully incorporated and the batter is a uniform chocolate color. (2 minutes)

Recipe View Drop spoonfuls of the chocolate batter over the vanilla batter in the cake pan. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the chocolate batter into the vanilla batter, creating a marbled effect. Be careful not to overmix. (3 minutes)

Recipe View Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. (30-35 minutes)
