Coffee Marble Cake


I have not met my friend Carmen for months and baked this for her for our girls outing. She likes butter and coffee, so I thought a coffee marble cake would be the perfect combination! This is a lovely cake and it smells great out of the oven too. I brought her the whole cake and it seems her hubby loves it too and the cake was finished in no time.
I couldn’t help but had a piece to myself too…;p


Ingredients:
Butter (130gm)
Self Raising Flour (200gm)
Sugar (130gm)
Egg (3)
Yoghurt (4 tbsp)
Coffee granules (2-3 tbsp)
Water (1-2tbsp)

Preheat oven at 170C


Method:
1. Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
2. Add egg one by one and beat till well combined.
3. Mix in the yoghurt.
4. Fold in the flour.
5. Divide the mixture into 2 portions.
6. In a separate bowl, mix coffee granules with water. Add this coffee paste to one of the flour portion.
7. Grease a cake pan or layer it with baking paper. Pour in the plain mixture and alternate with the coffee mixture.
8. Use a chopstick and make a few swirls to create marble effects.
9. Bake for 40-50min or until cooked.
