Step-by-Step Method
Beat eggs and sugar
Place eggs and sugar in a bowl and beat with a mixer until pale and frothy.
Add oil and milk
Pour in the vegetable oil and milk, then beat again until smooth and combined.
Fold in dry ingredients
Sift in flour, baking powder and vanilla, then stir gently until the batter is smooth.
Fill the pan with plain batter
Pour about half of the batter into a buttered loaf or cake pan and level the surface.
Make the cocoa batter
Add cocoa powder and 3 tablespoons of milk to the remaining batter and mix until even.
Add cocoa layer
Spoon the cocoa batter over the plain layer, letting it sit without overmixing to create marbling.
Bake the cake
Bake in a preheated 160°C (320°F) oven without fan for 50–55 minutes. Check with a skewer; it should come out clean.
Cool in the pan
Allow the cake to cool in the pan at room temperature until it firms up.
Unmold carefully
Invert the pan onto a serving plate and lift the pan off gently.
Slice and serve
Once fully cooled, decorate as you like and slice to serve.
