Marbled Butter Cake

Daddy has ALWAYS been bugging me to bake a simple, untwisted cake..

So dy, here it is..

Here's what it looks like in tze middle

Quite pretty =)

Recipe:

Butter cake

100g butter, softened

1/2 cup sugar

1 tsp vanilla

2 eggs, separated

4 tablespoons milk

1 cup flour

1 tsp baking soda

Preheat oven to 180C

Beat the butter, sugar and vanilla till its light and fluffy

Beat in the egg yolks

Sift in the flour and baking soda, add in the milk

Mix well

Beat the egg whites till soft peaks form

Fold the whites into the batter

Reserve 4 tablespoons of the batter in a small separate bowl.

Pour the remainder into a lined loaf tin

Prepare chocolate batter

Chocolate batter

50g butter

1/4 cup sugar

1 tsp vanilla

1 egg, separated

2 tablespoons milk

1/2 cup flour

1/2 tsp baking soda

Repeat the same steps as the butter cake recipe.

Spread Chocolate batter on top of the butter cake mixture.

Dot the reserved butter cake mixture on top of the chocolate mixture

Using a skewer, swirl and twirl the chocolate and butter mixture to get a nice pattern.

Bake in the oven for about 30 to 40 minutes (cover it with foil when it starts to get too brown)

Cool before removing from the tin.
