Marble Cake for Mum's Birthday


Ever since the successful bake last year my sis and I made for my mum, I'd decided to bake mum a cake for her birthday this year. When it comes to my mum, there is no need to crack my mind and spend sleepless nights thinking about what cake to bake because plain butter cake or marble cake are the only approved ones. So, I did a reduced sugar butter marble cake for mum. The only decoration are the walnuts on top of the cake. No cream pls....cos she dislikes cream. I'm glad she loved it! My dad enjoyed it too. He ate 2 big pieces at one go!

hi cass,

this is the recipe i used. not sure if you'll like it, but i like yoghurt in the cake :)

butter 150gm
sugar 130gm
eggs 3
yoghurt 4tbsp
vanilla essence 1 tsp
self raising flour 190gm-sifted

temp 175-180C

as usual, cream the butter and sugar. then add egg 1 by 1 and beat till combined. add in the yoghurt and vanilla essence and beat to combine. finally add in the self raising flour. pour into pan and bake for 40min or till cooked.

i added a bit of cocoa powder into a small portion of the batter to make it a marble cake.
