Marble Cake

Initial Mixture

Ingredients:

100g self-raising flour
½ tsp baking powder
40g plain chocolate

125g caster sugar
2 eggs
1–2 tbsp milk
30g ground almonds (They make the mixture slightly richer)
125g  butter

How to:

- Heat oven to 180 degrees c, grease/line your loaf pan. Sift your flour, with your baking powder into a large bowl.

- Cream the butter until it's kind of fluffy, beat in the 1st egg, then half of the flour, then the 2nd egg, then the rest of the flour. Fold in the ground almonds, and add enough milk to give it a thick consistency so that it just drops off of the spoon.

This mixture stays as it is!

- Spilt the mixture into 2 bowls, evenly. Melt the chocolate in a glass bowl over a boiling, adding a very slight amount of butter to help it. Mix the chocolate into one of the bowls

This is the chocolate mixture!

 - Spoon the mixture into the into your loaf tin, 1 large spoonful at a time.

On the next layer, spoon the light mixture over the dark mixture

- With a sharp knife, draw it through the mixture gently to swirl it, don't go too overboard else you will just get a medium-colour cake!

Swirled mixture ready to roll

- Bake it for 30-40 minutes, or until you can poke it with a skewer, and for it to come out clean.

Finished!

 If you want to ice it, melt 60g plain chocolate over a boiling pan like before, then stir in 30g unsalted butter and 1 tbsp double cream, then when the cake has cooled, spread it on, let it set. Then eat it!
