- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease and flour a loaf pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and baking powder; whisk until evenly distributed.
- Crack the eggs into the bowl one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the melted butter until smooth.
- Divide the batter evenly into two bowls; stir cocoa powder and milk into one bowl to create the chocolate layer.
- Spoon alternating dollops of vanilla and chocolate batter into the prepared loaf pan; swirl gently with a skewer or knife.
- Bake in the oven for about 40 minutes; insert a toothpick to check for doneness and let cool slightly before slicing.

Notes
For an extra moist cake, brush the warm loaf with a simple syrup made from equal parts sugar and water. Consider using margarine or coconut oil as a substitute for butter, and plant-based milk for a dairy-free option. To lighten the recipe, you can use gluten-free flour or a sugar substitute. Adding fresh berries or spices like cinnamon can also enhance flavor. Store the cake tightly wrapped to maintain freshness, and freeze individual slices for longer storage.
