Marble Cake - another recipe

Just look at that, sedapkan?
YES! It is!
Forgive my rudeness, but you ought to give this recipe a try.
It is just perfect for lazy me. The steps and ingredients are basically easy.
Okay let's back track for a bit.
As always, me and almost everyone out there love browsing through the internet, other then their
prefixed favorite pages.
I'm no different, but I do love roaming and reading cooking blogs especially ones with recipes and good pictures. Ahem, the pictures do help!
Sometimes, it is irritating when I scroll down only to discover only pictures and no recipe *sigh* but I guess some people don't want to share or just love posting pics.

I came across this wonderful site. Not sure how I missed it before but it has some very interesting recipes.
I like the layout, very user friendly and the instructions are easy to follow. To find out more, click here -

I'm sharing their Marble Cake recipe. Try it, it is worth the time and effort.
I used a wooden spoon to beat up the butter and sugar, too lazy to take out the hand mixer.
I also added 1 tsp of Baking Powder to the flour.
I used 1 non stick loaf pan. 30cm x 11 cm, 6cm deep. I still greased and lined it with paper anyway.

The cake is light, not too sweet or greasy. The masses ate almost half! I was lucky to snap the photos before it disappeared!
Well QL Kitchen, thank you so much! I'm sharing this wonderful recipe with everyone else. This recipe is definitely a keeper!!

Ingredients

225g butter
225g castor sugar
225g all purpose flour (to this I added 1 tsp baking powder)
4 eggs
6 Tbsp milk (I used evaporated milk)
2 heaped Tbsp cocoa (I only used 1 1/2 Tbsp)
1 tsp vanilla

Method
Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs one at a time.
Add in vanilla essence. Mix well.
Alternate the flour and 3 Tbsp milk, mix well.
Divide the batter into 2 bowls.
Leave one plain and to the other half add cocoa powder and 3 Tbsp milk.
Combine well.
Use 2 clean spoons to alternate the batter into the cake tin.
Lastly use a skewer to make marble like patterns on the top.

Bake at 180C for 45 mins - 1 hour. It depends on how many cake tins you use.
I used 1, but QL used 2 smaller ones, so the cooking times is faster.
Allow to cool before tipping it out of the cake tin and on to a cooling rack.


Happy Baking.
