I’ve made this cake twice in my entire exposure of marble cakes. So far it is the same consistency. Although this attempt of ‘marble cake’ hehe, i use “tatura butter” from australia. The output … more moist marble cake with nice buttery smells.

Ingredients:

225 g  of Butter

225 g of Castor Sugar

225 of Self Raising Flour

4 eggs

2 tbsp of Cocoa powder

7 tbsp of Milk

3/4 tsp of Baking Powder

1 tsp of Vanilla essence

A pinch of salt

Method:

- Use around 7×7 inche of cake pan.

- Preheat your oven to 170 Celcius

- Mix cocoa powder with half of the milk and put aside.

- In separate bowl, beat butter and sugar until soft and creamy.

- Add eggs one at a time.

- In another bowl, sift flour, baking powder and salt.

- Fold in the sifted mix into the creamed mixture alternately with remaining mix. (Start and end with flour)

- Add vanilla and combine well.

- Transfer 1/3 of the batter into separate bowl and add coco mixture to it. Mix it again.

- Scoop the plain batter and chocolate batter alternately into the greased & floured cake tin.

- Run jam knife to get the marble effect.

- Bake for 50-60 mins.

- Once baked, let it cool down first before turning upside down.

The secret of this cake is the mayonnaise, that’s what makes it moist and the ‘just nice’ taste which is not too sweet and not too buttery. You can decorate the toppings based on your preferences, based on the pic i just shake an icing sugar on top of the choc frosting to make the contrast snow effect.

Ingredients:
2 cups of flour (sifted)
2/3 cup cocoa powder (10 tbs + 2 tsp)
1 1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp baking powder

1 tsp vanilla essence
1 cup mayonnaise
1 1/3 cups water / 325 ml
2 tbs butter

- Grease & Flour 9″ round bake pans
- Combine flour , cocoa, baking soda & baking powder, mix well and set aside.
- Use electric mixer, beat together eggs, sugar, vanilla for 4 mins and high speed. Mixture should be smooth and creamy.
- Reduce speed to low and beat in mayonnaise until blended.
- Add flour mixture i batches, alternating with water, 4 equals additions (eg. 1/4 flour, 1/4 water)
- Pour batter into prepared cake pans.
- Bake for 45 mins until you touch the center of cake it will springs back or use cake tester.

TIPS: You can flip back the cake for the top since it is more even and pretty, if the top of your cake cracked, you can cut it even using a knife so that you can get a nice level cake.

Even though the ingredients are not so complicated, but me and hubs really like the taste of it, plus i really like the combination of the colors, should try it out !
