Instructions
We start by preheating the oven to 180 ℃ and line a 5 inch tin with baking paper.
In a small mixing bowl add the wet ingredients and whisk. Add the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth.
Divide half the batter in another bowl, add the 1 tbsp cocoa powder and milk into the bowl. Whisk it until well combined and smooth.
Pour 1 tbsp of the vanilla batter into the prepared tin alternating with 1 tbsp of the chocolate batter. Repeat until all the batter is done. Using a tooth pick or knife, swirl the batter around a couple of times.
Bake the cake for 18-20 mins until golden and risen. You know the cake is ready when you poke a tooth pick into the center and it comes out clean. Cut and serve.
Notes
Do not over swirl the batter or else you will end up with one color in the cake and the marble effect will be lost.
