Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Stir in vanilla extract.

In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.

Gradually add dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with milk, until just combined.

Divide the batter into two bowls.

Mix cocoa powder into one bowl of batter until well incorporated.

Spoon alternating dollops of the two batters into the prepared pan.

Use a knife to swirl the batters together for a marbled effect.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
