Baking Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan and line it with parchment paper.
• In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
• In another bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
• Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
• Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, alternating with milk, until just combined.
• In a separate bowl, mix one-third of the batter with cocoa powder until smooth.
• Spoon alternating dollops of plain and chocolate batter into the prepared pan. Gently swirl with a knife to create a marbled effect.
• Bake for 50–60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool before slicing.
