    Classic Mable Cake Recipe

    My Mum used to make this Marble Cake for my sister and I as a special treat, and I just love that I use the same recipe now to make it for my kids.  While Mum’s original recipe calls for the use of cochineal to create the pink colouring, I could not find any for the life of me, so I went ahead and used pink food colouring instead – however as you can see this didn’t stop Mr 4 from wanting to eat it!!

    Marble Cake Recipe

    You can top this Marble Cake with whatever icing you like, I decided to keep it really simple and used my Chocolate Icing recipe,  however in the  past I’ve also used store bought chocolate fudge icing, which between us, tasted amazing!  This recipe makes one large loaf cake, however you can also bake it in a round or square tin, you will just need to adjust the cooking time accordingly.

      I just love the way you made it so simple. This recipe of yours brings color my kids plates. And because of your idea, I came to think to add more color to it, 2 or 3, perhaps.
