Marble Muffins

• 5 5/8 tablespoons butter
• 5/8 cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 cups flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 9/16 cup cocoa bittersweet, powdered
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• milk as needed

1. Preheat the oven to 180C.
2. Beat the butter with the sugar for a few minutes with an electric mixer, until light and creamy.
3. Add the eggs, one at a time, incorporating each one completely before adding the next.
4. Sift the flour with the baking powder, and incorporate it with a wooden spoon into the butter/egg/sugar mixture. The batter will be thick.
5. Place half of the batter in a another bowl, add the vanilla extract and stir.
6. In the other bowl, add the sifted cocoa and some milk to make the batter less thick, and stir well.
7. Fill the muffin liners with a spoon by alternating the two types of batter, this will give the muffins the marble effect.
8. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
9. Remove the muffins from the oven and cool on a wire rack.
