Ingredients
  

For the Cake
  • 225 g unsalted butter, softened Room temperature
  • 225 g caster sugar Sweet and simple
  • 4 large eggs Room temperature
  • 275 g self-raising flour Make sure it’s fresh and fluffy
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder For rich chocolate flavor
  • splash milk To achieve perfect batter consistency

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter and caster sugar until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  4. Gradually fold in the self-raising flour until just combined.
  5. Split the batter in half and fold in cocoa powder into one half, adding a splash of milk for consistency.
  6. Grease and line a 9-inch ring cake tin and alternate spoonfuls of both batters, creating swirls.
Baking
  1. Place your cake in the oven and let it bake for 45-50 minutes.
  2. Check for doneness with a skewer; if it comes out clean, your cake is ready.
Cooling and Serving
  1. Allow the cake to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
  2. Decorate with a dusting of powdered sugar or chocolate glaze if desired.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature eggs and sift cocoa powder to avoid lumps.
