Beat butter, oil, and sugar in a bowl with an electric mixer until soft and creamy.
Add egg, one at a time, and beat until well combined. Add vanilla extract, mix well.
Gently stir in sifted flour and milk mixture in three batches. Transfer 1/3 of the batter into another bowl and add the cocoa mixture and mix gently until combined.
Spread half of the vanilla batter into the prepared pan. Spread the chocolate batter over top. Finish by spreading the remaining vanilla batter over the chocolate batter.
