Ingredients
Cake:
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)

Instructions
Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C) and grease a Bundt or loaf pan.

Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each.
In another bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt.

Use a knife to gently swirl for a marbled effect 🍓
Bake for 1 hour 10–20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
