1. Preheat over to 350 degrees. In a bowl, mix all dry ingredients except the cocoa powder.

3. Once creamy, add the eggs and buttermilk.

4. Slowly add the dry ingredients and mix for 3 minutes. 

5. Scoop out 2 cups of the mixed batter into a separate bowl and add the cocoa powder.

6. Spray your baking pan and pour half of the original batter in your pan followed by a layer of the cocoa batter ending with the rest of the original batter.

7. Take a knife and swirl all three layers of batter. Just do a couple of times as this can easily be overdone.

9. Let cool before taking out of the pan.

10. For the glaze, place all ingredients in a medium size bowl and mix thoroughly.
