Marble Cake

Dear readers, in order to celebrate the 1st birthday of my blog, i baked a marble cake today.

Something very happening happened juz now when i was preparing the ingredients. I bought a pack of "bake king" plain flour from fairprice recently. However, when i was sifting the flour, i found lumps & worms in them. I was disgusted & tot that there goes my chance of baking a cake for my blog.
But lucky mi, i bought a pack of "red man" self raising flour from poon huat yesterday. So i decided to use self raising flour instead. 1 good thing about it is that i no need to use baking powder. Easy for mi. haha...

Fresh from the oven!

Ingredients;
250g butter
200g self raising flour
180g castor sugar
4 medium eggs
½ tsp vanilla essence
2 tbsp unsweetened coco powder
2 tbsp hot water

Method;
-Preheat oven to 160ºC, greased & lined 9” baking tin.
-Dissolved coco powder in hot water.
-Beat butter till light & fluffy.
-Add in sugar & cream till ribbon stage.
-Add in eggs 1 at a time, followed by vanilla essence.
-Fold in flour.
-Pour half the batter into baking tin.
-Add coco mixture to the remaining batter.
-Pour in remaining batter to the tin & swirl to create marble effect.
-Bake for 1 hr till skewer come out clean.
-Enjoy!
