Calories: 131kcal
- 1 ½ cups self raising flour 200 grams
- 110 grams butter at room temperature
- ½ cup caster sugar 110 grams
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 eggs 70 gram eggs
- 4 tablespoons milk 80 grams
- 1 teaspoon cocoa
- pink food colouring
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees celsius (fan-forced) and line the base of a loaf tin with baking paper before lightly greasing the sides.
Place the butter and caster sugar into the bowl of an electric mixer (or use handheld beaters) and beat for 3 - 4 minutes or until pale and creamy.
Add the vanilla extract and milk and mix to combine.
With the mixer running on a slow speed, add the eggs one at time and beat well.
Add the self raising flour and mix until just combined.
Transfer the mixture in three equal parts and add the cocoa to one and a couple of drops of pink food colouring to the other. Mix to create the coloured mixture.
Add spoonfuls of the three different coloured mixtures to your prepared loaf tin and once all the mixture is in the tin, use a butter knife to gently swirl the mixture to create the 'marble' effect.
Place the cake tin into the oven and cook for 30 - 35 minutes or until your marble cake is cooked through when tested with a skewer.
Thermomix Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees celsius (fan-forced) and line a 20cm round cake tin with baking paper.
Place the butter (softened) and caster sugar into your Thermomix bowl and mix for 30 seconds on speed 3.
Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix for a further 20 seconds, speed 3.
Add the vanilla extract, milk, eggs and self raising flour and mix for 10 seconds, speed 4. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix for a further 5 seconds, speed 4 or until well combined.
Follow instructions from step 6.
- You will need to use softened butter for this recipe. If the butter is firm, it will take longer to incorporate the ingredients.
- Substitute the pink food colouring for different colours if preferred/don't have it. Alternatively, divide the batter in two for a chocolate and vanilla marble cake.
- A butter knife is my suggested tool to create the swirl.
- Alternative baking tins can be used (eg muffin tray, 20cm round tin or bar tins) however please note the baking times will vary
- Place in an airtight container and store in a cool place. This cake is best enjoyed within one week. Alternative if you are freezing this cake, wrap in foil or place in a freezer safe container before storing for up to two months
- I usually ice this Thermomix Marble Cake with a simple chocolate icing however you can also top it with a store bought chocolate or vanilla icing, and it's even delicious served un-iced.
