Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the flour and cocoa powder, ensuring they are evenly distributed for consistent chocolatey goodness throughout the cake.
-
Combine Ingredients: Gradually add spoonfuls of the flour mixture to the creamed butter and sugar, alternating with eggs, until both the flour mixture and eggs are fully incorporated. If the mixture appears too dry, gently incorporate milk until the desired consistency is achieved.

Swirl Mixture: Using a butter knife, gently swirl the mixtures together in the tray, creating a mesmerizing marble effect while ensuring not to overmix, preserving distinct layers of chocolate and vanilla.

Bake: Preheat the oven to gas mark 6 (approximately 200ยฐC or 400ยฐF) and bake the cake for approximately 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating it is fully cooked.

Final Touches: As the cake nears completion, melt plain chocolate over a pan of boiling water, creating a smooth, glossy topping for your masterpiece.
