Ingredients

Scale

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
½ cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
4 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
½ cup cocoa powder

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Gradually mix this dry mixture into the wet ingredients alternately with the milk until just combined.
Divide the batter in half; fold cocoa powder into one half until fully incorporated.
Spoon dollops of both batters into prepared pans, then use a knife to swirl them together gently.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow cakes to cool in pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
