Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk (or almond milk)
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract

- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until smooth.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with milk and vanilla extract until just combined.
- Divide half the batter into another bowl and fold in cocoa powder to create the chocolate batter.
- Spoon alternate dollops of vanilla and chocolate batters into the prepared pan and gently swirl with a knife.
