Baking Marble Cake!

-

 
Last week Saturday, I made Marble cake with my mum and sister!

So obviously I got my camera out so I could show you what we were doing!

A few of you have commented on my baking posts, telling me to bake more, so I thought that I'd take a load of pictures and talk you through the recipe so you can make it too!

The weirdest thing about this recipe is that you are literally making two cakes and putting them together! You'll see what I mean!

Ingredients

Self-raising flour
 
Vanilla Extract





Unsalted butter
 
Milk 


 
 
Sugar


 
 
4 Eggs

 
Cocoa powder


Method
I'm going to explain the recipe for the chocolate part of the cake. The vanilla part is exactly the same but with vanilla essence rather than cocoa powder. (Just don't want to write the same thing out twice!)

1) Preheat the oven to 180 degrees (gas mark 4) and grease a loaf tin.

2) Put 125g of sugar and 125g of butter in a mixing bowl and beat until light and creamy.






 
3) Add one egg and stir until smooth. Then do the same with the second egg.




 
4) Sieve 115g of flour and 2 table-spoons of cocoa powder into the mixture. Then add the milk and beat together until smooth.






 
5) Do the exact same thing again in a separate bowl, but substitute the cocoa powder for 1 table-spoon of vanilla essence.
 
6) Add the chocolate and vanilla into the loaf tin bit by bit. Then create a swirl pattern on the top.








7) Bake for 45-50 minutes

8) Enjoy!



I hope you enjoyed reading this and I hope you make your own versions! I got this recipe from the Baking Mad website.

Thank you for reading.

    Ooo, this looks lovely! Unfortunately I can't follow the exact recipe you used because I can't eat gluten but you've inspired me to look for a flour free version! <3

      I'm so glad! I hope you find a flour free version, food intolerances are the most annoying thing! xx

My Christmas Fiancé | Blogmas Day 13

  It's Blogmas day 13! Maya (Jennifer Freeman) agrees to pretend to be her boss's (Jack Parr) fiancé so that he doesn't have to get married. I picked this one because I love the fake dating trope in rom-coms, and I really wanted to find a movie for Blogmas that used this trope. Honestly though, I probably shouldn't have bothered, because this film wasn't great. The story took me a while to get into. And while I wasn't loving it straight away, I was hopeful that when the characters started their fake dating/engagement, it would become more interesting. But it didn't. One reason for this is how long the characters spent at work. They're both chefs and the majority of the first half of the film is spent in the kitchen cooking things that the audience don't care about. I understood the need to establish the relationships but it took way too long to do so. The characters weren't believable as anything - colleagues, friends, partners, anything. There w...

Merry Magic Christmas | Blogmas Day 14

  It's Blogmas day 14! In the lead-up to Christmas a financial advisor (Patricia Isaac) helps a theatre director (Andrew Dunbar) keep his theatre running. To be honest, that might not be an accurate description of the film. Not only have I completely forgotten what the film was actually about, I also forgot that I watched it! So this entire review is coming from the notes I made while watching, because for some reason it's a really forgettable film. I didn't get a great first impression of either of the main characters, and because of that, neither of them were particularly likeable. Not only was this the second Blogmas movie based around a theatre, but it was also the second to prominently feature 'A Christmas Carol' as the show the theatre was putting on. Could we please retire this now? There's a bit of chemistry between the main characters, but they just didn't work well together for me. I never quite bought them, and the potential romance wasn't som...

The Merry Gentlemen | Blogmas Day 12

  It's Blogmas day 12! As usual, since day 12 is my birthday I try to pick something either special, or that I'm really looking forward to. Of the new Netflix Christmas movies this was the one I was most looking forward to, so it made sense to have this down for day 12! A Broadway dancer (Britt Robertson) stages an all-male Christmas revue to save her parents' business. I absolutely loved this film! From the beginning, it's clear that a lot of time and effort was put into the creation of the characters - particularly our main couple who felt very authentic. But all the characters were great to watch - even those that don't get as much development or screen time. The chemistry was so great! As soon as the characters were on screen together I completely saw them as a potential couple and was rooting for them to get together. This stays the same the whole way through, and by the end it actually feels like this couple could last past the credits. The stakes actually fel...

Christmas in Notting Hill | Blogmas Day 11

  It's Blogmas day 11! When famous footballer Graham Savoy (William Moseley) meets Georgia (Sarah Ramos), who has no idea who he is, he finds himself enticed by the idea of being anonymous, and even more enticed by Georgia herself. I think this is the only Blogmas movie set in the UK, so for that alone it was an easy pick! The premise was great and felt somewhat original (for a Christmas movie anyway). I really really liked this one - it was a lot better than I thought it would be! I took an instant liking to both of the main characters, and I really liked the way they were introduced. It was fun getting to know them and their families before they came together. But speaking of them coming together, I haven't been paying much attention to meet-cutes so far this Blogmas, but I liked that they went with the classic bump/coffee spill.  The main characters had great chemistry and it was really fun watching them together. But for me the relationship that stood out the most was the ...

A Christmas Proposal | Blogmas Day 16

  It's Blogmas day 16! When Jason (Joshua T. Shipman) is forced to move for work, and his girlfriend cannot go with him because they are not married, he creates an elaborate plan to propose by Christmas. So apparently there are two films with the same name, made in the same year, and it looks like I picked the worst of the two! From the very beginning, the tone of the film is really odd. It was taking itself way too seriously for what is supposed to be a light Christmas movie. The plot didn't really make much sense. A few times throughout the film there was a point made that the character didn't want to be with his girlfriend, and had actually requested a be transferred to get away from her. So why are we watching him plan a proposal? Why is he planning a proposal in the first place? There were really weird moments throughout the film where the sound quality would drastically change when a character was speaking but not on camera, despite supposedly being in the same room. ...
