Marble Cake



I admit it, I'm not so creative this week. I want to make some full-proof and not a time consuming cake, so that's why it's marble cake this week. The whole process from preparing to washing the kitchen take a total of 1.5 hour, so it's quite fast. The cake itself is quite versatile. So long as you cream the butter and sugar correctly, your cake will not get deflated or dry or burn or whatever disaster that you can imagine. It also will not dry if you forget about it in the oven for 5 more minutes from the supposedly baking time, but off course longer than that it's a blackhole (with a burnt smell).

100 gr sugar
1 tsp Vanilla extract
200 gr butter
4 eggs
13 gr milk powder
4 gr baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
210 gr cake flour
10 gr choco paste
  1. Cream sugar, vanilla and butter in high speed until light and fluffy.
  2. Lower the speed then spoon in the eggs one by one, until each of them is incorporated.
  3. Still in low speed, mix in all dry ingredients and turn back to high speed for 10 seconds, and set aside the batter.
  4. Take about 4 scoops of the batter and mix it with the choco paste.
  5. On an 8-inch round pan, already lined with the parchment paper, pour in half of the white better, the pour about 4 scoops of chocolate batter then top again with the remainding of the white batter. With toothpick, swirl around the batter until the top looks like a marble.
  6. Bake it for 40 minutes at 180C.
  7. After baking set it off to cool.
