      \ud83d\udc69\u200d\ud83c\udf73 Step-by-Step Instructions<\/h1>\n

       <\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      \ud83d\udd39 Step 1: Prepare the Oven & Cake Pan<\/h1>\n

      Preheat your oven to:
      \n\ud83d\udd25 180\u00b0C (350\u00b0F)<\/strong><\/p>\n

      Grease and line an:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • 8-inch round cake pan
        or<\/li>\n
      • loaf pan<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        \ud83d\udc49 Lining the pan helps remove the cake easily after baking.<\/p>\n

        \ud83d\udd39 Step 2: Cream Butter & Sugar<\/h1>\n

        In a large mixing bowl:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • Add butter and sugar<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Beat for about 3\u20135 minutes<\/strong> until:
          \n\u2714\ufe0f Light
          \u2714\ufe0f Creamy
          \u2714\ufe0f Fluffy<\/p>\n

          \ud83d\udc49 This step is very important for a soft cake texture.<\/p>\n

          \ud83d\udd39 Step 3: Add Eggs<\/h1>\n

          Add eggs one at a time.<\/p>\n

          Mix well after each egg before adding the next one.<\/p>\n

          \ud83d\udc49 This keeps the batter smooth and prevents curdling.<\/p>\n

          \ud83d\udd39 Step 4: Add Vanilla<\/h1>\n

          Add:<\/p>\n

            \n
          • Vanilla extract<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            Mix gently.<\/p>\n

            \ud83d\udd39 Step 5: Prepare Dry Ingredients<\/h1>\n

            In another bowl, combine:<\/p>\n

              \n
            • Flour<\/li>\n
            • Baking powder<\/li>\n
            • Salt<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              Mix well.<\/p>\n

              \ud83d\udd39 Step 6: Combine Wet & Dry Ingredients<\/h1>\n

              Now gradually add:<\/p>\n

                \n
              • Dry ingredients<\/li>\n
              • Milk<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                Alternate between them:
                \n\ud83d\udc49 A little flour \u2192 little milk \u2192 repeat<\/p>\n

                Mix until smooth.<\/p>\n

                \u26a0\ufe0f Do NOT overmix.<\/p>\n

                \ud83d\udd39 Step 7: Divide the Batter<\/h1>\n

                Divide the batter into:<\/p>\n

                  \n
                • 2 equal portions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                  One portion stays vanilla.<\/p>\n

                  \ud83d\udd39 Step 8: Make Chocolate Batter<\/h1>\n

                  In the second portion:<\/p>\n

                    \n
                  • Add cocoa powder<\/li>\n
                  • Add 2 tbsp milk<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                    Mix until smooth chocolate batter forms.<\/p>\n

                    \n

                    \n

                    \n

                    \n

                    \ud83d\udd39 Step 9: Create the Marble Pattern<\/h1>\n

                    Now pour the batters into the cake pan alternately:<\/p>\n

                      \n
                    • Vanilla batter<\/li>\n
                    • Chocolate batter<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                      Repeat layer by layer.<\/p>\n

                      Then use:<\/p>\n

                        \n
                      • A skewer
                        or<\/li>\n
                      • Knife<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                        to gently swirl the batter.<\/p>\n

                        \ud83d\udc49 Don\u2019t over-swirl or the pattern will disappear.<\/p>\n

                        \ud83d\udd39 Step 10: Bake the Cake<\/h1>\n

                        Bake at:
                        \n\ud83d\udd25 180\u00b0C (350\u00b0F)<\/strong><\/p>\n

                        for about:
                        \n\u23f0 35\u201345 minutes<\/strong><\/p>\n

                        The top should become:
                        \n\u2714\ufe0f Golden brown
                        \u2714\ufe0f Slightly cracked
                        \u2714\ufe0f Springy when touched<\/p>\n

                        \ud83d\udd39 Step 11: Check if the Cake is Ready<\/h1>\n

                        Insert a toothpick into the center:<\/p>\n

                          \n
                        • Clean toothpick \u2192 ready<\/li>\n
                        • Wet batter \u2192 bake a few more minutes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                          \ud83d\udd39 Step 12: Cool Properly<\/h1>\n

                          Let the cake cool:<\/p>\n

                            \n
                          • 10\u201315 minutes inside the pan<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                            Then transfer to a wire rack.<\/p>\n

                            \ud83d\udc49 Cooling properly prevents breaking.<\/p>\n

                            \ud83c\udf6b Optional Chocolate Glaze<\/h1>\n

                            Want to make it extra special?<\/p>\n

                            Ingredients:<\/h2>\n
                              \n
                            • \u00bd cup chocolate<\/li>\n
                            • 2 tbsp cream or milk<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                              Method:<\/h2>\n

                              Melt together and drizzle over the cake.<\/p>\n
