Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pan.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
-
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract, lemon zest, lemon juice, and molasses.
-
Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until just blended.
-
In a small bowl, mix together the cocoa powder and hot water until smooth.
-
Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared pan. Spoon dollops of the cocoa mixture on top, then swirl with a knife to create a marble effect. Pour the remaining cake batter on top.
-
Bake for 40 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.
