Ingredients

Cake Base

  • 223 g Butter
  • 200 g Caster Sugar (1 cup)
  • 5 Eggs (about 250 g)
  • 250 g Self-Raising Flour (2 cups)
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 120 ml Buttermilk (½ cup)
  • 1 tsp Vanilla

Marble Layer

  • 10 g GH Chocolate Emulco
  • ½ of the cake batter (about 525 g)

Pan

  • 8″ deep round pan, lined with baking paper

Directions

Step 1: The Butter Batter

  • Cream: Beat the butter for 7-8 minutes until light and fluffy.
  • Sugar: Add the caster sugar and beat until fluffy and pale.
  • Eggs: Add the eggs and mix until well combined.
  • Dry: Add the flour and baking powder, then pour in the buttermilk. Mix in the remaining dry ingredients and the vanilla until smooth.

Step 2: The Marble

  • Divide: Scoop half of the batter into a separate bowl.
  • Colour: Add the GH Chocolate Emulco gradually and stir until evenly dark brown.

Step 3: Assemble

  • Layer: Spoon plain batter into the lined pan, then a dollop of chocolate batter on top. Repeat until both are used up.
  • Swirl: Drag a skewer through the batter in loose swirls. Don’t overmix, or the pattern will blur.

Step 4: Bake

  • Bake: Bake at 160°C for 60 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean.

Step 5: Finish

  • Cool: Cool on a wire rack and peel off the baking paper.
  • Serve: Slice and serve.
