Marbled Cake
Ingredients:
4 large eggs
310 ml (1 1/4 cups) milk + 60ml (1/4 cup) milk
120 g (1/2 cup)coconut oil, melted (canola or vegetable oil works as well)
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup (112g) unsalted butter, room temperature
3 tbsp 100% cocoa powder
330 g (1 1/2 cups) sugar
400 g (3 1/3 cups, properly measured) all purpose flour, sifted
pinch of salt
food coloring of choice

I baked this in 3 six inch pans, but you can certainly bake this in 2 eight inch pans. You will need to check baking time as it will be different with the different size pan.

Instructions:
1. In a small bowl combine 60 ml milk and the cocoa powder. Mix until cocoa is dissolved. You can warm this briefly in the microwave so it is easier to dissolve the cocoa powder. Set aside. Preheat oven to 325 degrees for small 6 inch pans, or 350 degrees if using 8 in pans.
2. Combine butter and sugar in the mixer and beat with paddle attachment until light and fluffy.
3. Add the vanilla and the eggs one at a time, mixing after each one until fully incorporated.
4. Add in the coconut oil until combined.
5. Alternate adding some flour, then some milk and incorporate each before adding more. Make sure to start with flour and end with flour. Try to only mix until just combined so you avoid over mixing the batter. Scrape sides down and give one more quick mix.
6. Divide batter. Put 1 cup of batter into a big bowl, add the chocolate mixture and whisk together until fully combined. Put 1/3 cup batter into another bowl and use this to color the batter. You can use any amount of batter for this part, but I only wanted this as a highlight color and not very dominate.
7. Grease pans and line with parchment paper. Make sure you grease the sides of the pan. Pour a little batter into the pans and then make dots with the chocolate and the colored batter. You can also start with putting some colored/chocolate dots on the bottom before adding the vanilla batter.
8. Once the pans are filled equally you will use a spoon or knife and slowly move it from one side of the pan to the other. Make sure you do not try to mix the colors, so only do a few passes thru the batter so you will still have the distinct colors.
9. Bake in the preheated oven on the middle rack until done. Approximately 35 to 40 minutes for smaller pans and 25-35 for larger pans. Cooking time will vary so make sure you keep a close eye on the cakes! Depending on your oven will determine how long your cake bakes. You can put a toothpick into the center and if it comes out clean (or 1 or 2 crumbs) then pull the cakes out of the oven.
10. Cool on a wire rack in the pans for about 15 minutes. Remove cakes and let cool to room temperature. Frost or wrap depending on when you are eating your cakes.
