- 225 gm all purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 3 large eggs room temperate
- 1 tbsp milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

- Preheat oven to 160 degrees. Grease and flour a small loaf pan and set aside.
- Put ingredients from butter to vanilla extract and beat with a hand mixer for two minutes till well blended.
- Transfer half the batter into another bowl.
- Whisk together the cocoa powder and hot water till a smooth paste. Allow to cool slightly, and then add into one of the bowls, mixing well till blended.
- Pour in the vanilla and chocolate batters intermittently to do the marble effect. I just poured the vanilla batter and then dropped the chocolate batter over it and swirled it through using a fork.
- Bake it for 50 minutes or till a skewer inserted comes out clean.
- Allow to cool in pan for 5 minutes, before flipping onto a cooling rack.
- Cool completely, slice and serve.
