Prep:20mCook:1hTotal:1h:20m250 g unsalted and softened butter4 large eggs250 g caster sugar220 ml milk2 tsp vanilla extract380 g self raising flour1 tsp baking powder25 g cocoa powder

Preheat your oven to 180°c. Cream together your softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add your eggs in one at a time, mixing each egg into the mixture thoroughly before adding the next one. Pour in the vanilla extract and mix. In a separate bowl sift together your flour and baking powder. Gradually add your flour mixture into the egg and sugar mixture, alternating each spoonful with the milk until all your flour has been used up and you have 2-3 tbsp of milk left.

Divide your batter into two and fold the cocoa powder through one half. Pour the milk into the cocoa mixture to help it all combine. Line and grease a 23cm/ 9in deep cake tin. Place 2 tbsp of the plain batter into the centre of the cake tin and flatten slightly. Straight away add 2 tbsp of the chocolate mixture directly on top. Continue this process until all the mixture has been used up. You will end up with lots of alternate rings of mixture in the tin.

Place the cake into the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes until the cake is cooked through. To check if your cake is cooked insert a skewer through the middle, if it comes out clean your cake is ready. Turn the cake onto a wire rack to cool before serving.
