2 large eggs
•
1 cup milk

Directions
1
Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
2
Sift flour, baking powder, and salt into a bowl.
3
Beat butter and sugar together in a separate large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla extract.
4
Add flour mixture in batches, alternating with milk, mixing just until combined.
5
Reserve 3/4 cup batter; pour remaining batter into the prepared pan.
6
Mix cocoa into reserved cake batter until even in color.
7
Drop chocolate batter by large spoonfuls on top of vanilla batter and swirl with a knife for a marbled effect.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 28 to 30 minutes. Cool briefly on a wire rack before inverting carefully onto a cooling rack. Let cool completely before slicing.
