Classic Marble Butter Cake

classic marble butter cake

Ingredients

  • 250 grams of butter
  • 200 grams of powdered sugar/caster sugar (me: 190gr)
  • 5 eggs (4 if the eggs are extra large)
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 225 grams of medium/low protein flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • A little salt
  • 50 ml liquid milk, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder, dissolve in a little hot water to make a paste, let it cool – you can add chocolate paste if you like (me: add 1 tsp mocca paste)

How to make

  • 1. Grease the pan with butter or margarine. If using a loaf pan, line it with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • 2. Beat butter using a mixer on high speed until smooth. Add powdered sugar/caster sugar. Beat again until fluffy, pale & creamy. Do not overbeat until the butter becomes a little runny.
  • 3. Add in the vanilla & eggs one by one. Always beat well with a mixer every time you add eggs. Occasionally scrape the edges & bottom of the basin using a spatula.
  • 4. Preheat the oven to 160C
  • 5. Mix & sift flour, baking powder & salt. Add flour 3 times into the butter mixture, alternating with the liquid milk 2 times. Beat using a mixer on the lowest speed. Finally, stir with a spatula.
  • 6. Take a third of the dough. Add the chocolate paste solution. Mix well with a spatula.
  • 7. Pour the mixture alternately in the pan. Make a random marble motif with chopsticks/sticks. Kick the pan.
  • 8. Bake for 45-60 minutes depending on the oven and baking sheet used. The skewer test is clean.
