Marble Cake: Easy 14 Steps

Though my blog clearly shouts out the name 'WRITTEN MINDLESSNESS' but this post is quite mindful. After posting a few pictures on Facebook of a Marble Cake I baked today, many have asked for the recipe of it. So here it is, for everyone's convenience I am posting the most easiest recipe of the delicious dessert.

Ingredients

·         Flour (300g)

·         Sugar (200g)

·         Butter (100g)

·         3-4 eggs
Milk (2-3 tablespoon)

·         Baking powder1/2 teaspoon

·         Cocoa powder (two tablespoon)

·         Cadbury Diary Milk Chocolate (8 cube)

 Vanilla essence (a few drops)

Procedure:

1. Take sugar in a bowl and add melted butter to it. Mix it well until the sugar blends with the butter and becomes fine.

Tip: Use grounded/powdered sugar to save time.

2. Now add the eggs and beat it well.

Caution: Do not add eggs to hot butter unless you want sweet scrambled eggs.

3. Add flour little by little and keep mixing it.

4. Add half teaspoon of baking powder and vanilla essence. 

5. Keep beating the batter until a thick, smooth consistency is achieved. 

6. Now in a separate bowl take out half of the mixture and keep aside.

7. Break the chocolate cubes in small pieces and using the double boiler method melt it smooth. Add little milk to make it quick.

8. Now add this melted chocolate to the half of the batter you have kept aside. Mix it well and add cocoa powder. Beat well. Now you have two batter- one brown and the other white. 

9. Grease the baking mould with oil and sprinkle some flour. 

10. Now comes the main part of bringing the texture of the marble cake. Take a tablespoon for each batter (Brown and white). Drop one tablespoon of white batter in the center of the mould. Then exactly on top of it drop the brown batter. Again drop the white batter. Repeat this until you have put the batters one after another in the baking mould.

Your mould should look like this now.

Tip: Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees while you are pouring the batter.

11. Put the filled mould in the oven and bake for 40 minutes.

12. After 40 minutes check if the cake is ready or not by pricking in a fork. If the fork comes out clean, the cake is ready.

13. Turn off the oven and keep the cake inside for some time to allow it to cool.

14. When it cools down, take it out from the mould and serve with your favourite chocolate topping.
