Prepping the Ingredients

Start by gathering all your ingredients: all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, butter, egg, cocoa powder, baking powder, vanilla extract, salt, and milk. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for best results.

Making the Batter

Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, alternating with milk, until a smooth batter forms.

Creating the Marble Effect

Divide the batter, mixing cocoa powder into one half. Alternately spoon vanilla and chocolate batter into the pan, swirling gently with a knife to create the marble effect.

Baking

Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan and bake at 350°F (175°C) for around 35-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let it cool before slicing.
