How to Make Marble Cake

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two round cake pans by greasing them.
Cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar in a mixing bowl until fluffy and light.
Add the large eggs one at a time, blending in the vanilla extract with the last egg.
In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add this mixture to your wet ingredients, alternating with the milk.
Split the batter into two bowls and stir cocoa powder into one bowl.
Layer the batters in the prepared pans by alternating spoonfuls of both mixtures.
Gently swirl them together using a knife.
Bake in your preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
