Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 1.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 4 large Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder
• 3 tablespoons Hot water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch bundt pan or two 8-inch round cake pans.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Alternately add the flour mixture and milk to the wet ingredients, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.

Step 6

In a small bowl, stir together the cocoa powder and hot water until smooth to form a chocolate mixture.

Step 7

Divide the batter into two portions. Leave one portion plain (vanilla) and mix the other with the prepared chocolate mixture to create the chocolate batter.

Step 8

Spoon alternating dollops of vanilla and chocolate batters into the prepared pan(s). Use a butter knife to gently swirl the batters together, creating a marble effect. Do not overmix.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, turn the cake out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
