Description
A tender, buttery marble cake made easily in the Thermomix, featuring classic vanilla and chocolate swirls for a moist, comforting treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 110 grams butter at room temperature
- 110 grams caster sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 80 grams milk
- 2 eggs (70 gram eggs)
- 200 grams self raising flour
- 1 teaspoon cocoa
- pink food colouring
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180 degrees celsius (fan-forced) and line a 20cm round baking tin with baking paper. Set aside.
- Place the butter and caster sugar into your Thermomix bowl and mix for 30 seconds, Speed 3. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix for a further 20 seconds, Speed 3.
- Add the vanilla extract, milk, eggs and self raising flour and mix for 10 seconds, Speed 4.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix for a further 5 seconds, Speed 4 or until well combined.
- Transfer the mixture in three equal parts (approximately 180g each). Add the cocoa to one part and a couple of drops of pink food colouring to another part. Mix each colored portion to create the separate batters.
- Add spoonfuls of the three different coloured mixtures to your prepared baking tin, alternating them. Once all the mixture is in the tin, use a butter knife to gently swirl the mixture to create the marble effect.
- Place the cake tin into the oven and cook for 30 – 35 minutes or until your marble cake is cooked through when tested with a skewer.
- Cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container or freeze individually wrapped slices for up to 3 months.
Notes
- This cake stays moist for days when stored correctly.
- The swirling action should be gentle to keep the distinct marble pattern.
- You can substitute the pink food colouring with cochineal if you prefer a natural colorant.
