A delightful dessert combining the rich flavors of chocolate and the lightness of vanilla with a stunning marbled effect.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Cream Butter & Sugar: Beat the butter and sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
