Beat in half of the milk and half of the sifted flour mixture, then beat in the remaining milk and flour mixture.
Whip until the batter is smooth and creamy.
Rinse and dry the medium mixing bowl that you used for the sifted flour; you’ll need it again soon.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder and 1/3 cup of very hot water till smooth.

Pour a little less than half of the cake batter into the medium mixing bowl that you rinsed out.
Whisk in the cocoa powder mixture till fully combined and smooth.
This is your chocolate marbling batter. Reserve the rest of the batter—this is your light cake marbling batter.
Generously grease your loaf pan using butter or cooking spray.
Pour the light and dark cake batters into your loaf pan and marble them. If you need a marbling technique, you can check out this post: How to Marble a Cake.

Bake the marble cake at 350 degrees for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10-15 minutes.

Gently remove the cake from the pan and let it cool completely on the rack.
This cake will keep at room temperature for 3-4 days; wrap in plastic wrap or foil to seal in the moisture, or keep it inside an airtight container. To extend shelf life, keep the cake in the refrigerator.
