How I make it

Beat the butter and sugar until fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, then the flour and baking powder, mixing until smooth.
In a separate bowl, mix the cocoa and milk.
Set aside a third of the batter and mix it with the cocoa mixture.
Put each batter in its own piping bag.
Pipe alternating light and dark layers into the pan, scattering pecans between the layers.
Bake in an oven preheated to 325°F (160°C) for about 1 hour 15 minutes.
