Marble Cake

Marble Cake

While having dinner, my husband asked whether would

like to buy bread for tomorrow breakfast?

I said not necessary because I am intending to bake Marble Cake.

He asked me why I did not bake in the afternoon because

at least it won't be tiring for me.....since I went to

Big Bad Wolf Book Sales this morning with my son.

I said no problem because Marble Cake is very easy to bake.

He nodded his head and gave me the grin smile....I know he

loves to eat Marble Cake.

My son and I had a wonderful time buying books

at the Big Bad Wolf Book Sales,

so so so cheap........ and lots of varieties......too bad that my daughter cannot

tag along because of her AS (A Level) exam.

Well, upon smelling the aroma of my bake Marble Cake later,

sure my daughter will forget about the book sales....ha ha ha and also

to give her a boost on her memory to answer all her exams questions

without hesitation and with flying colours!

225 g caster sugar

225 g plain flour mix with 2 tsp of baking powder (shift twice)

225 g butter (room temperature)

4 eggs (room temperature)

1 tsp of vanilla extract

50 g cocoa powder

50 ml milk

Beat butter for 2 minutes.

Pour in the caster sugar to the beaten butter and

beat until light and fluffy.

Beat in egg one by one.

Towards to the 4 eggs, pour in together with the

vanilla extract and beat until combined.

Pour in 1/2 of the flour into the batter and beat

until combined.

Pour in the milk and beat until combined.

Lastly, pour in the last 1/2 of the flour and beat

until combined.

Get ready your baking tin lined with grease paper

and make sure your oven is pre-heated before

you place your cake mixture to bake.

Take 1/3 of the batter and pour in the cocoa powder.

Mix until combined and leave at one side.

Pour 1/3 of the batter of the baking tin and

spread evenly.

Pour cocoa mixture to the top of the batter and

spread evenly.

Lastly, pour the balance of the 1/3 batter to

the top of the cocoa mixture and spread evenly.

Take a skewer and run through the batter to make

marble effect and bake for 50 minutes at 190 Degree Celcius

or until done.

Once done, take it out and let it cool.

With a knife, run through the side of the baking tin

to loosen the cake and place the cake in a serving plate.

Yummy....yummy....delicious.

While blogging this cake, my husband, son and daughter
