Chocolate/Vanilla Marble Cake

Another fun resource is Rachel Allan's show "Bake!" which airs on Discovery Travel and Living here. I got a few recipes from her and the good thing is, most of them can be made with ingredients found here. This is a really simple cake, combining both of my favorite things into one.

First grease your cake dish and line with oil paper/grease proof paper. I didn't have any, so I just really slathered the pan with lots of butter. Heat up the oven to 180C.

Then take one stick of butter (227g) and mix with 225g of sugar. Cream it well.

Then in a separate bowl, mix 4 eggs with 2 tsps vanilla. Add this to your butter/sugar mixture gradually. Then add 225g of flour with 2 tsp baking powder. Fold the flour in and add 50ml of milk.

Seperate this mixture into two bowl. Into one, add 50g of cocoa powder and mix.

Here's the fun bit, now in your cake dish, put 1 tbsp of cocoa mix and 1 tbsp of vanilla mix and alternate. Then with a toothpick, just 'draw' around the mixture, don't mix too much otherwise no marble effect.

Put into the oven for 35-40 min or until a toothpick comes up clean, and Voila~! Your cake is done
