Marble cake
(Non-mixer)
My
husband prefers homemade Marble cake with richness in butter. The following
recipe makes a reasonable size Marble cake without using a mixer as I am still
waiting for my Kenwood mixer to be delivered.
Ingredients
2 tbsp cocoa powder
6 tbsp hot water
110 gm caster sugar
50 gm brown sugar
250 gm unsalted butter (melted)
6 tbsp vegetables oil
2 eggs (70gm each at room temperature)
1 tsp vanilla essence
200 gm all-purpose floor
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
Grease your cake tin and line with baking paper. Set it
aside.
Preheat oven to 175 C, fan bake.
In a bowl, stir cocoa powder with hot water until it
dissolved. Set it aside.
Prepare a mixing bowl. Add in sugar, butter, oil, eggs and
vanilla essence. Whisk all the ingredients together until incorporated.
Sift in flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Combine
and whisk everything until incorporated.
Scoop one third of the batter into the cocoa mixture and stir
together till well-mixed.
Spoon 2 spoonful of vanilla cake batter into the cake tin
and follow by 1 spoonful of the chocolate batter. Repeat until all batter has
been used up. Insert a skewer and swirl through the batter a few times to
create a marble effect.
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until a skewer inserted into the
centre of the cake comes out clean.
Place the cake on the wire rack and let it cool completely.
Cut, serve and enjoy!
