Marble Cake

Made Marble Cake yesterday morning. My girls said it is moist and lovely. Why not try it yourself??......

Ingredients:

2 cups sugar

1 cup butter, softened (250 gm)

2 - 3 cups cake flour (here's the tricky part, see below step 4 .............)

1 cup milk

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

4 eggs

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 180 deg and grease a loaf pan, set aside
2. In a large bowl, using electric mixer at low speed, beat sugar and butter until blended. Increase to medium speed and beat until light and fluffy.
3. Add vanilla extract, salt, eggs and beat medium speed until well mixed.
4. Using spatula or wire whisk - mix in the flour 1/2 cup + 1/4 cup milk at a time until 2 cups + 1 cup milk are fully mix into batter.
5. Remove 2 cups batter to a medium bowl. Using wire whisk, beat 1/2 cup cocoa into batter until well blended. As for the remaining of the vanilla batter, using wire whisk, beat in another 3/4 cup of flour.
6. Pour in batter in alternate portion into greased loaf pan. Using satay stick or a large spoon, twist through batters to obtain marbled effect.
7. Bake for 1 hour using 160 deg. (check your cake if its done by poking with satay stick, stick must come out clean especially the middle part) Every oven cooks differently. Cool cake in pan and on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove cake from pan and cool completely.
8. Enjoy your marble cake.
