Ingredients
- 2 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 Eggs
- 2 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoon Orange zest
- 2 tablespoon Cocoa powder

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch (23cm) round cake pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually mix in the flour mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture.
- Divide the batter in half. In one half, stir in the orange zest. In the other half, stir in the cocoa powder and orange juice.
- Drop spoonfuls of the two batters into the prepared cake pan, alternating colors. Use a knife to gently swirl the batters together to create a marbled effect.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar before serving.
