Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease a 23x13 cm loaf tin and line it with baking paper, leaving overhang on the sides.
2. Melt 3 tablespoons (45g) of the butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Stir in the cocoa powder until smooth and lump-free. Set aside.
3. Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt together in a separate bowl.
4. Beat the remaining ¾ cup (180g) of softened butter with the sugar until light and fluffy.
5. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in the vanilla.
6. Add the flour mixture and milk in three parts, starting and ending with flour, mixing until just combined.
7. Divide the batter evenly between two bowls. Stir the cocoa mixture into one half until evenly chocolate-coloured.
8. Spoon the chocolate batter into the tin, then spoon the vanilla batter over it, keeping the layers distinct.
9. Swirl the two batters with a butter knife or skewer using two or three figure-eight motions.
10. Bake 30 minutes, then cover with foil and bake a further 30 minutes, until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean.
11. Cool completely in the tin, then lift out and slice.
