Tips:
- Use room temperature ingredients. This will help the cake batter come together more smoothly and evenly.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will incorporate air into the batter and help the cake rise.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
- Sift the dry ingredients together before adding them to the batter. This will help to distribute them evenly and prevent lumps.
- Alternate adding the dry ingredients and the milk to the batter, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. This will help to prevent the batter from becoming too thick or too thin.
- Divide the batter in half. Add cocoa powder to one half of the batter and mix until well combined. This will create the chocolate batter.
- Spoon the vanilla and chocolate batters into the prepared pan, alternating colors. Swirl the batters together with a knife or toothpick to create a marbled effect.
- Bake the cake according to the recipe instructions.
