Ingredients
- 225 g Butter softened
- 225 g Caster sugar
- 4 Medium sized eggs
- 225 g Self-raising flour
- 60 ml Whole milk
- 2 tsps Vanilla essence
- 2 tbsps Cocoa powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 160℃. Grease and line a 1 kg loaf tin with baking paper.
- In a large mixing bowl using an electric whisk, beat the softened butter and the caster sugar until creamy.
- Add half of the eggs and beat them in, then add the remaining eggs and beat until well combined.
- Pour in the milk, vanilla essence and add the self-raising flour. Fold it through until the mixture is well combined and you have a smooth cake batter.
- Divide the mixture equally between two mixing bowls.
- Add the cocoa powder into one of the bowls and fold it through until well combined. If it looks too dry then add a splash of milk.
- Dollop a spoon of one of the mixtures into the loaf tin, followed by the other. Keep alternating until all the batter is used up.
- Give the tin a shake and a bang on the kitchen surface so that it spreads into the edges.
- Bake it for 55 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.
- Leave it to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring it to a cooling rack to cool completely.

This cake went down a storm and was so easy to make. I didn’t have self raising flour so added 2 teaspoons of baking powder – worked a charm. Already can’t wait to make it again. Thanks, Jon!
