Ingredients:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup hot water

For the frosting:

- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2-3 tablespoons whole milk

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch (23cm) cake pan.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, and mix until just combined.
5. In a small bowl, mix together the cocoa powder and hot water until smooth. Add 1 cup of the cake batter to the cocoa mixture and stir until well combined.
6. Pour half of the vanilla batter into the prepared cake pan. Spoon the chocolate batter on top of the vanilla batter, and then spoon the remaining vanilla batter on top of the chocolate batter. Use a knife to swirl the batters together to create a marbled effect.
7. Bake the cake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting.
8. To make the frosting, cream the butter in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk, and beat until smooth and creamy.
9. Frost the cooled cake with the frosting, and decorate with Easter-themed sprinkles or candies, if desired.
