Marble Cake

This is definitely an all time favourite cake that goes very well with a cup of Coffee or Milk at tea time! Its quite easy to  make as well.

Things you need:

• 2 cups plain flour
• 1/2 cup unsalted softened butter
• 1/2 cup Castor sugar
• 2 tablespoon Cocoa Powder
• 2 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 A grade Eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Essence 
• 1 cup full cream milk
• a pinch of salt

Cooking Instructions:

Preheat the oven at 180 Degrees Celsius for 15 minutes.

Put the flour, butter, sugar, baking powder, eggs, vanilla essence, milk and salt in a mixing bowl and mix together with a wooden spoon. Then mix the mixture using a electric mixer at medium speed for approximately 3 minutes or until soft.

Divide the batter in half and place one half in a different bowl. Add Cocoa Powder into this and mix well for 1 minute at low speed.

Take a greased 9 inch round cake tin and spread alternating layers of each of the batter beginning with the Cocoa batter and ending with the other one.

When you are done, using an icing spreader or a a table knife sparingly mix the batter in the cake tin to make a swirly pattern so that a marble effect is created.

Bake in the oven for 45 minutes or until a skewer or wooden tooth pick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Enjoy!

All ready to eat!
