'Marble cake'



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

 

Procedure

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!
