Marble Cake

Ingredients:

• 160 mL water
• 60 g margarine (softened)
• 2 eggs (or egg replacer)
• Loaf Pan (26 x 13 cm)
• 8-10 g cocoa powder

 Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 160°C (fan forced) or 180°C (conventional oven).
2. Spray the tray with vegetable oil (if you have patty cases, place them in the tray).
3. Add eggs, margarine (softened) and water to a mixing bowl then add the Choc vanilla cupcake mix.
4. Using an electric mixer, mix on slow speed for 1 minute. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
5. Mix on medium speed for 1 minute.
6. Transfer 1 cup of cake batter to a mixing bowl. Add cocoa powder mix with a whisk until well combined.
7. Use a spoon to gently dollop batter into the loaf tin, alternating between vanilla batter and chocolate batter. There’s no need to be exact. Keep layering until you’ve used all the cake batter, then gently smooth the top.
8. Gently spoon the batter into the loaf tin, alternating between vanilla and chocolate batter. Continue layering until all the cake batter is used, then lightly smooth the top.

Tip: To create a marbled effect. Use a skewer and swirl it around the mixture in the loaf tin a few times.

9. Pour batter evenly into the tray and bake for approx. 30-35 minutes*. Cake is baked if they bounce back when gently pressed at the peak.
10. Remove cake from the oven and place them onto a wire rack to cool.
