I hope you all had a happy Sunday filled with rest and relaxation, I did. I made lunch for me and my daughter and we played for most of the afternoon until I decided I wanted a sweet treat. I decided to try my hand at baking a marble cake. I had never made a marble cake before today. This however wasnt going to be any ordinary marble cake because I was coming up with the recipe and measurements as I went along. The cake turned out marvelous and I enjoyed it with a nice cuppa. If you want to try your hand at it here is how I did it. Ingridients 1.5 cups cake flour 1.5 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon salt Just under one cup white sugar 2 teaspoons vanilla essence 3 eggs 1 cup milk 1/2 cup vegetable oil 1/4 cup cocoa powder Preheat your oven to 180degrees 9 inch greased cake tin. Method. Sift together all the dry ingridients, then stir in sugar. In a separate bowl lightly beat the eggs, and oil then add the vanilla essence and milk. Pour the wet ingridients into the dry ingridients all at once and mix. Imagine your hand is a hand mixer and mix at medium speed just until combined. The mixture will be lumpy to start but eventually smooths out. Do not over mix unless you want a dry cake. A dry cake is a crap cake, every good baker knows this.4 minutes is enough. Then pour half the cake mix into a different bowl. Sift in the cocoa powder and mix until the cocoa is blended in, remeber not to over mix. Now you are ready to pour the two cake batter into the cake tin. Do this by alternating the two until allmthe batter has been used. Take a knife and swirl the batter just once. Bake for 30 mintutes lr until a tooth pick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Cut yourself a slice and enjoy..x I wish you peace, love and good eats!
