POLOM

*Ingredients:*

- 2 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour

- 1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar

- 2 teaspoons of baking powder

- 1 teaspoon of salt

- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, softened

- 1 cup of whole milk

- 2 large eggs

- 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract

- 1/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder (for the dark batter)

*Instructions:*

1. *Preheat the oven:* Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease two 9-inch (23cm) round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper.

2. *Make the white batter:* In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the softened butter and mix until the batter is smooth. Add the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.

3. *Make the dark batter:* In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder and a small amount of the white batter until smooth. Add the remaining white batter and mix until well combined.

4. *Swirl the batters:* Pour the white batter into the prepared pans, followed by the dark batter. Use a knife or spatula to swirl the batters together, creating a marbled effect.

5. *Bake the cakes:* Bake the cakes for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of each cake comes out clean.

6. *Cool the cakes:* Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

7. *Assemble the cake:* Once the cakes are cool, place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a layer of frosting or whipped cream on top. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the entire cake with your preferred frosting.
