Marble Cake

Marble Cake

Hubby loves to eat Butter Cake. So i tried baking Marble Cake on New Year Day. It was an easy recipe to follow and didnt take very long. However, my brother's oven (Im currently using his table top oven) temp seems to be higher than required. Realised that my cakes either overcooked or cooked way before the specified required timing. Maybe i should get an oven thermometer to be more accurate.

My little princess helped out in sifting the flour and baking powder

6. Stir in the sifted Cake Flour and Baking Powder using a rubber spatula. Remember to only stir in one direction.
7. Pour 1/3 of the batter into a separate mixing bowl and add coco powder into it.
8. Pour the remaining 2/3 of the batter into the pan, then the coco batter on top of it.
