How to bake a Marble Cake from scratch...


Marble Cakes look so pretty that you can never resist a slice. I love baking them too. My favourite part of the whole process is the swirling! You really have to keep guessing how they will appear when the cake is sliced.

The butter in the recipe gives it a special flavor and the milk makes it very moist. So, try this super moist marble sponge cake. You will love it :)




MARBLE CAKE

Ingredients:

All purpose flour - 1 ½ cup

Eggs – 2

Cocoa pdr - 1 ½  tbsp

Butter –  ½  cup

Milk – ¾ cup

Sugar (Castor or Superfine) – 1 cup

Baking pdr – ½ tbsp

Salt – a pinch

Vanilla extract – 1 tsp



Method:

1.    Brush an 8 inch round tin with butter or oil. Line the bottom with butter paper or parchment paper. Keep aside.

2.    Add the baking powder and salt to the flour and mix well. You may sift it a couple of times.

3.    Beat together the butter and sugar till light, pale and creamy.

4.    Add in one egg and combine with the butter and sugar mixture. Then add the second egg and combine.

5.    Now add the flour in 3 parts alternating with the milk, into the egg-sugar-butter mixture. Lightly fold in the flour and milk till just combined. Cut and fold!

6.    Once all the flour and milk has been added the batter is ready.

7.    Take out a little bit of the batter in a bowl. Add the cocoa powder to it and mix it well. Add a little milk if necessary.


8.    To assemble the cake, pour half of the vanilla batter into the tin and spread evenly.

9.   Spoon in the chocolate batter over this unevenly. Add the remaining vanilla batter and spoon some more chocolate batter over it.

10. Run a spoon, knife or toothpick through the batter in swirls.

11. Tap the tin to get rid of any air pockets in the batter.

12. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C or 350 F for 30 mins or till a skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean.

13. Cool on a wire rack completely before demoulding. Cut into slices and serve.

­ All ingredients must be at room temperature.



­ All measurements are to be taken leveled.
