Chocolate And Vanilla Marble Cake Mmm... Cake

Recommended Posts

Fairly simple recipe and good fun making silly patterns :P

 

Ingredients

225g self-raising flour

225g caster sugar

225g butter

4 medium eggs

3 tbsp. milk

2 tsp. vanilla extract

2 tbsp. cocoa


You'll also need a cake tin (approximately 20cm/8 inches in diameter), a little extra butter to grease the tin and greaseproof paper if you want it (I don't use it, but no harm in it).

 

Start heating your oven up to 180C/350F/Gas 4

Mix the butter and sugar together in a large mixing bowl. Make sure you're left with no large lumps of butter or you'll end up with a very odd cake.

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until the mixture is smooth after each one.

Add the milk and vanilla extract, making sure they're mixed in evenly.

Gradually add the flour, mixing at the same time, until the mixture is smooth.

Divide the mixture evenly between two bowls.

Add the cocoa to one of the bowls and thoroughly mix it in until the mixture is a uniform colour.

Grease the cake tin and line with greaseproof paper if you want to.

Use two spoons to add blobs of each of the mixtures to the tin alternately.

After each 'layer' of blobs, tap the cake tin firmly on the worktop/table, and slide it around slightly on the surface to remove any air bubbles.

You should get around 3 'layers' of blobs. If you want to, use a knife to slightly swirl the blobs into eachother to create a marbled effect.

Bake for 45 mins to an hour. When it's done you should be able to insert a skewer or knife through the centre of the cake and it will come out clean.
