The other day we went
to Aunty and Uncle’s friends’ place so I thought that it would be the perfect
opportunity to make Marble Cake (something I’ve been wanting to make for a
while). Because of my love of both art and baking, I thought, well… why not
combine the two?
We went out and bought
a fluted bundt cake tin especially for the occasion!
After preheating the
oven, I brought out all my ingredients. Judging by the recipe, I thought that
there would be quite a bit of cake mix so I got out the ‘hard core’ mixing
bowl; in other words, the big bowl!
I put in the butter
(or in my case, the catering spread), caster sugar and vanilla and combined it
with the electric mixer until it was light and creamy looking. Then, after
gradually adding the eggs (and beating them well!) I sifted the flour and
baking powder over the mixture and folded it in with the milk.
Easy so far, huh? Next
I split them into three and put cocoa powder, a little more milk and castor
sugar into one bowl (the one with the most batter :P), and red food colouring
(the recipe says to use pink food colouring, but seeing as we had none I used a
little bit of red. The mixture is white-ish so it turned pink in the end
anyway. Be careful not to put too much though.) in the other, and left the one bowl
remaining (the original bowl) the same.
I eagerly put my
brand-spanking-new fluted bundt tin onto the bench and put spoonfuls (I really
just filled my cup measurements a little, making sure not to ‘cross
contaminate’ with the other colours) into the bundt tin.
<-- Me still in my running outfit.
Into the oven, goes my
little baby marble cake!
And out comes a
perfectly shaped, heavenly tasting, and gorgeously presented marble cake
dessert.
