Ingredients:

For the Chocolate Batter:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Vanilla Batter:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.
2. Prepare the Chocolate Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cocoa powder). In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
3. Prepare the Vanilla Batter: Repeat Step 2, substituting milk for buttermilk.
4. Create the Marble Effect: Alternate spooning spoonfuls of chocolate and vanilla batter into the prepared pan, creating a swirled pattern. Use a knife or skewer to swirl the batters together slightly.
5. Bake: Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Cool and Enjoy: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve.

Tips:

- For a more dramatic marble effect, alternate adding larger spoonfuls of each batter.
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving for a finishing touch.
- The cake can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
