Marbled cake
Marbled desserts or sweets, such as marble cake, are very popular recipes for home cooks who enjoy baking. And in the following, a simple and delicious recipe is presented.
Ingredients
This delicious recipe is quite simple, with just a few ingredients that are easy to find or that you may already have at home. To prepare it you need:
• 4 medium eggs.
• 140 grams of sugar.
• 180 ml of sunflower oil.
• 120 ml of milk.
• 1 and ½ teaspoon vanilla.
• 300 grams of pastry flour (all purpose).
• 1 envelope of chemical yeast.
• 25 grams of cocoa powder.
• 1 teaspoon of instant coffee.
• A pinch of salt.
• Butter for greasing.
Steps
Once you have collected all the ingredients needed to prepare the marble cake, you just have to follow a few simple steps. Remember that you will need wax paper and a 20 cm round mold:
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 175ºC. Grease the mold with butter and apply a sheet of wax paper to the bottom.
Step 2
In a bowl, beat the eggs with sugar for about 5 minutes. Then, add the oil, milk and vanilla and beat until everything is homogeneous.
Step 3
Separate the mixture into equal parts into 2 containers. In one of these, 170 grams of flour, a pinch of salt and half of the yeast will be sifted. In the other, add the rest of the flour, cocoa, coffee and salt.
Step 4
Beat both mixtures until they are very homogeneous.
Step 5
Once this is done, start assembling the cake. 3 tablespoons of each mixture should be poured into the container, alternating between the white and the chocolate, always pouring into the center being careful not to splash.
Step 6
When both mixtures are finished, bake for around 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out completely clean. Once the time has passed, it should be removed from the mold and allowed to cool on a rack.
Your marble cake is ready, which you can divide into 8 good portions, to accompany with a cup of tea or perhaps a scoop of ice cream. There are many ways to achieve the marbled effect in these cakes, but this one is quite simple. We invite you to try it.
