Description
A good practical cake, one that I make quite often.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup white sugar
- ½ cup butter, softened
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round pan.
- Place flour
- sugar
- milk
- eggs
- butter
- baking powder
- vanilla
- and salt into a large bowl. Mix slowly to moisten
- then beat with an electric mixer at medium speed for about 2 minutes until smooth. Reserve 3/4 cup batter; pour remaining batter into the prepared pan.
- Stir cocoa into reserved batter until even in color. 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.
- 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.
