Marble Cake

It’s been a crazy week at work and so I needed to do some baking/cooking. Yes, it works wonder as therapy! Haha….I’ve always told my friends that I definitely enrolled in the wrong course. I should not have studied economics, but HOME economics ;p

This is again a ‘midnight’ cake because by the time it’s done, it was almost midnight.
I love marble cake. It gives us the freedom to create whatever ‘patterns’ we like with the cake. Instead of mixing half of the portion with chocolate powder, you can always mix it with something else e.g. pandan flavour, strawberry flavour, etc.

Ingredients:
Self raising flour (190gm)
Soy bean powder (3 tbsp)
Cocoa powder (3 tbsp)
Butter (150gm)
Castor/brown sugar (120gm)
Eggs (3)
Vanilla essence (1tsp)
Yoghurt (4 tbsp)

Preheat oven at 170C.

Method:
1. Cream butter, sugar and vanilla essence.
2. Add in the egg one by one and mix well.
3. Add in yoghurt and mix well.
4. Sift self raising flour and soy bean powder.
5. Fold the dry ingredients into the butter-sugar mixture.
6. Divide into 2 portions.
7. Add cocoa powder to 1 portion.
8. Grease the baking dish. Pour the cocoa mixture on one side of the dish and the original mixture to the other side.
9. Use a fork/spoon to make crisscross pattern.
10. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until cooked.
