Marble Cake Recipe
Marble Cake
Come 9:30pm yesterday, I really wanted a yummy treat. So, like any crazy person, I decided to bake one right then. I searched my cupboards and decided on marble cake with butter cream and as I had some leftover walnuts from another baking session, I thought I’d try it out. To my Hubby’s delight it turned out just as I’d hoped.
Ingredients for Cake
225g Plain Flour
225g Caster Sugar
225g Softened Butter
2 tsp Baking Powder
100g Cocoa Powder
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
4 Medium Eggs
2 tbsp Milk
Ingredients for Topping
100g Butter
200g Icing Sugar
½ Cup Chopped Walnuts
½ tsp Milk
Using a pre greased and floured 8-9″ spring release cake pan. (Phew, that was a mouthful)
Directions
Pre-heat oven to 180°C.
Cream butter and sugar in electric mixer until pale. Add one egg at a time mixing thoroughly between each addition. Stir in Vanilla.
In a separate bowl sieve flour and baking powder together.
Add spoonfuls of flour into butter mixture along with milk. Mix briefly until flour is incorporated.
Using a large spoon place half the mixture into the pan in 4 individual spots. Add Cocoa to the remaining mixture, stir thoroughly and fill in the gaps in the cake pan with the chocolate mixture.
Using a skewer or something similar, swirl the chocolate into the vanilla and vice-versa. But not so much that you lose the vanilla too much.
Bake for 40 Mins or until firm to touch or skewer comes out clean.
Once cooled on a rack prepare the topping.
Mix together butter and icing sugar and add in milk.
Spread over the top of the cake generously and sprinkle on the walnuts, or a nut of your choice.
Now all there is to do is let everyone enjoy and appreciate your hard work!
Hey all! I’m totally new here and wanted to just say hello!
