Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Additional

  • 1/4 cup chocolate syrup

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a round cake pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter and sugar until the mixture is light, fluffy, and pale in color.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Incorporate the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then blend in the vanilla extract for flavor.
  4. Prepare Dry Mix: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder to ensure uniform distribution and remove lumps.
  5. Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture alternately with milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined for a smooth batter.
  6. Layer Batter and Syrup: Pour half of the batter into the prepared cake pan, drizzle the chocolate syrup evenly over it, then add the remaining batter on top.
  7. Create Swirls: Using a knife or skewer, gently swirl through the batter to create a marbled chocolate effect without overmixing.
  8. Bake: Place the cake in the oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature for easier creaming.
  • Do not overmix the batter once combined to keep the cake tender.
  • Use whole milk or any milk of choice for a richer flavor or a lighter version.
  • If you prefer a more intense chocolate flavor, use dark cocoa powder.
  • Allow the cake to cool fully before slicing to achieve clean cuts.
