Marble Cake 2
Okie... i noe it's early in the morning. I didn't intend to bake this cake but on the way home from the mama shop, i decided to buy one of the missing ingredients. Oh what the heck... might as well do it rite?? So i got down to work at 2350, measuring out the ingredients. Thought i had all i needed when i found out i lacked 30g of sugar!!! Die die die.. well, decided to use the next best thing. Icing sugar.Boh bian leh.. This time, i made sure i creamed the mixture thoroughly til the sugar melted. Then i added the eggs and vanilla. Okie, i remembered to mix only 1/4 of the mixture with coco powder, but then again, hiaz... i used too much of the batter. So, i decided to just leave out the extra batter with coco powder and make something else. Just then, i came across some muffin cups!!! Didn't know i had them... so i happily emptied the remaining coco batter into 3 cups and kept my fingers crossed about it turning out alright. Guess what... the accidental muffins were a blast!!
Cool rite?? The muffins were not your usual ones though cos i used a cake mixture, which is thicker.. but it turned out okie.
Now.. for the big one. The instructions said to bake it for 45mins to 1 hour. Thank God i checked my oven within 25 mins cos it was done!! I'll let the pictures do the talking now...
Nice pattern at the top. Thought the chocolate was just nice...
However, the chocolate didn't get to the bottom of the cake!!! But still.. it tasted yummy!!!! My dad and mom really loved it. Dad even asked for a bigger slice!! Haha.. Okie.. going to take some for my piggy to try. He's not a cake lover though but hope he'll like it....
Chocolate Swirl Cake (Evan's Kitchen)
Ratin: 4/5
ingredients :
180g butter
180g self-raising flour, sifted 3 times
150g caster sugar
3 eggs
1.5 tbsps hershey's cocoa powder
1 tsp vanilla essence
2 tbsp milk
method :
1. bring a little water to a boil and mix in cocoa powder to form a diluted paste. set aside for later use
2. soften butter and sugar in a large whisking bowl. beat with electric beaters until mixture turns pale yellow or ivory in color
3. add in 1 egg at each time, beating well between each addition. beat until sugar has almost dissolved and mixture becomes almost white
4. fold in sifted flour quickly using a metal spoon
5. add in milk and vanilla essence
6. pour in cocoa powder onto the cake mixture and use a chopstick to swirl around
7. grease an 18cm round cake tin with butter or oil. pour mixture in & spread evenly, smoothing edges.
8. bake in a preheated oven of 180 deg. c for about 30 mins until wooden skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean and when cake comes off the edges.
tip : another method for making the marble effect is to separate out 1/4 of the cake mixture after milk & vanilla essence has been added. then add in cocoa powder into the 1/4 cake mixture, and pour back into the other 3/4 mixture. again use the chopstick to swirl around. by using this method, the cocoa is less concentrated & bitter. depending on how u want it, you can also add some sugar into the cocoa powder to further reduce bitterness.
