Alternately layer vanilla and chocolate batter into prepared pan. It doesn't have to be perfectly layered. Using a knife, cut and twist through batter to create the swirly marble effect.

Cool in pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes and then run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the cake. Remove cake and place on wire rack to finish cooling.

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

2 cups white sugar
1 cup butter, softened
3 ½ cups cake flour
1 cup milk
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
4 eggs
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Steps:

In a large bowl, with electric mixer at low speed, beat sugar and butter or margarine until blended. Increase speed to high, and beat until light and fluffy. Add flour, milk, baking powder, vanilla, salt, and eggs; beat at medium speed until well mixed. Increase speed to high, and beat batter 4 minutes longer.
Remove about 2 1/2 cups batter to a medium bowl. With a wire whisk or fork, beat cocoa into batter in medium bowl until well blended.
Grease a 10 inch tube pan. Alternately spoon vanilla and chocolate layers into prepared pan. With a large spoon, cut and twist through batters to obtain marbled effect.
Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool cake in pan, and on a wire rack, for 10 minutes. Remove cake from pan, and cool completely.

Tips:

To achieve a smooth and even swirl, use a toothpick or skewer to gently drag through the batter in a figure-eight motion.
For a more pronounced swirl, use two different colors of batter and spoon them into the pan in alternating dollops.
To prevent the cake from sticking to the pan, grease and flour the pan thoroughly before pouring in the batter.
Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will dry out the cake.
Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
