Ingredients

For The Cake Batter

  • 250 g Plain Flour
  • 4 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1 Pinch Salt
  • 250 g Margarine (Stork or similar baking margarine)
  • 200 g Granulated Sugar
  • 5 Eggs
  • 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 40 ml Milk
  • 40 g of sifted Cocoa Powder

For The Chocolate Glaze

  • 130 g Icing Sugar
  • 3 tbsp Cocoa Powder
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 3-4 tbsp Milk

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C.Grease a bundt pan (I used a Wiltshire Rose Gold Round Fluted Bundt Mould 21cm) with Cake goop or a light layer of butter or margarine
  • Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl.Using an electric mixer cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy. A couple of minutes should do it.
  • On a low speed, add one egg at a time, followed by 2-3 tablespoons of the flour mixture. Mixing this way helps to prevent curdling. Repeat until the eggs and flour have been combined.Then add the vanilla and milk and mix in
  • Remove just over half of the batter to another bowl. Set aside, this will be the vanilla- pale part of the Marble cake
  • To the batter that remains, add the cocoa powder and mix in until combined- This batter will form the dark/chocolate part of the marble cake.
  • We are now going to layer the batters (4 layers). Dollop a quarter of the vanilla batter into the prepared bundt pan, then a quarter of the chocolate batter, then the Vanilla again and finally dollop 4 blobs of chocolate batter on top(See video above)
  • Next, give the bundt pan a little jiggle so the batter can move into all the grooves of the Bundt pan, then tap the bundt pan on your kitchen worktop a couple of times to level the batter out.
  • Place the cake pan into the oven and bake for 35 minutes, or until a cake skewer comes out clean.
  • Once the cake is baked allow it to rest for 5-10 minutes, before gently turning it out onto a wire rack
  • Once the cake has cooled completely, make the chocolate glaze
  • To make the chocolate glaze, mix together the icing sugar, cocoa powder, milk and vanilla extract, until you have a thick gloopy consistency. Pour over the surface of the cake allowing it to drip down the sides
  • Leave the glaze to set at room temperature for around 15 minutes before serving.
