Marble Pound Cake

If you have ever been to this blog before (or have just been snooping around) you will probably realize that I make a lot of cookies. I make a lot of cookies because they're my favorite thing to bake (and eat). Now you may be thinking "Why is she telling me this?" Well I'm telling you this because, look! I made cake! Well, bread-ish cake. I mean yes, it is technically called "pound cake" But I have to say it is arguably a bread. It is very bread-like, let's just go with that. Either way it is absolutely delicious! I love this dessert, especially with ice cream. Hey, maybe this has turned me into a cake person! Actually take that back, because I doubt that...
Marble Pound Cake 
You will need:
1 1/3 C butter
1 1/3 C sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. salt
5 eggs
4 tsp. baking powder
3 Tbsp. milk
2 3/4 C flour
3 Tbsp. cocoa
1 1/2 Tbsp. sugar
2 Tbsp. milk

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly butter or spray a 9-inch loaf pan.
2. Place the butter and sugar in a large bowl and mix with an electric mixer on medium speed for 1 minute, or until creamy. Add the vanilla and salt and mix for 30 seconds. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the baking powder and milk and mix for 15 seconds. Add the flour and mix for 1 minute, or until completely combined. Pour two thirds of the batter into the prepared loaf pan, reserving the remaining batter for the chocolate cake.
3. Add the cocoa, sugar, and milk to the remaining batter and stir until combined. Pour the chocolate batter in the pan and swirl with a fork.
4. Bake for 70-80 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove the cake from the pan and cool on a wire rack until completely cooled.
