Ingredients
220 g (1 cup) unsalted butter, room temperature
140 g (2/3 cup) castor sugar
5 medium-sized eggs
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
200 g (1 and 1/4 cup) self-raising flour
2 tbsp cocoa powder
1 tbsp fresh milk
Method
01 Preheat the oven to 190 C/375 F.
02 In a mixing bowl, whisk butter and sugar until fluffy. Add the vanilla essence and mix well.
Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each egg. Whisk until mixture becomes creamy and well-combined.
03 Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into another bowl.
04 Add the flour mix into the wet mixture in 3 batches. Fold with a spatula until the mixture just comes together. Do not overmix.
05 Scoop out 6 tbsp of the cake mixture into a separate bowl. Add 2 tbsp of cocoa powder and 1 tbsp fresh milk. Mix well.
Leave the remaining yellow cake mixture as it is.
06 Line an 20 cm/8 inch round or square cake tin with parchment paper.
07 Scoop 2 tbsp of the yellow mixture into the cake tin. Add 2 tbsp of the cocoa cake mixture and then followed by the yellow cake mixture again.
Keep layering until you use up both types of cake mixture. Top with the yellow cake mixture.
Use a wooden skewer to zig zag through the cake mixture.
08 Place the cake tin into the preheated oven.
Bake at 190 C/375 F for 45mins or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove and cool on the rack before cutting and serving
