Marble Cake

🍰 Desserts

Vanilla and cocoa batters swirled so every slice gets its own pattern. The kind of simple, generous cake that disappears before it cools. Great as-is, or warmed for twenty seconds with a scoop of ice cream.

Prep 30 min Cook 31 min Serves 10 Medium

Ingredients

  • Butter3 tbsp
  • Salta pinch
  • Eggs4
  • Sugar1 cup
  • Baking Powder2 tsp
  • Vanilla Extract1 cup, chopped
  • Cocoa Powder1/2 cup

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 180 C / 350 F and line the tin; a properly prepared pan is half the battle.

  2. 2

    Cream the butter, sugar and butter together until the mixture turns several shades lighter.

  3. 3

    Alternate the dry ingredients with the milk, folding with a spatula so the batter stays airy.

  4. 4

    Pour into the tin and bake 30-40 minutes, until a skewer in the centre comes out clean.

  5. 5

    Level the top, pile on the frosting, and let it rest ten minutes before slicing.

Chef's tip

Resting a custard or pudding overnight deepens the flavour and sets a cleaner slice.
