If you do not have a loaf tin, no need to panic :) just place it into a small cake tin...and you will be fine!
- Skill level: easy
- Serves: 6-8 people
- Prep time: 25 mins
- Baking time: 45 mins
What you will need:
175g unsalted batter, softened
175g caster sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
150g self-raising flour, sifted
1 tsp baking powder, sifted
25g cocoa powder, sifted
How to make:
1) Using an electric whisk, cream together on a medium speed the butter and sugar for about 2 minutes, until light and fluffy
2) Add the eggs one at a time, beating well between the additions. Add the vanilla extract and whisk for another 2 minutes
3) Add the sifted flour and baking powder and fold gently into the mixture
4) Divide the batter evenly between two bowls. Add the sifted cocoa powder into 1 bowl and gently fold in
5) Pour the vanilla cake batter into a greased and lined loaf tin, then top with the chocolate batter (I decided to not do this, instead I alternated blobs of each batter in the loaf tin)
6) Using the end of a wooden spoon, a knife or a skewer, swirl the mixture together to create a marbled effect
7) Bake on 180 degrees Celsius for 45-50 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean. When done, leave to cool slightly then transfer onto a wire rack and remove the baking parchment
