Chocolate Almond Marble Cake
Chocolate Almond Marble Cake
Ingredients:
- Softened butter 180 gm
- Caster sugar 225g
- Almond essence ¾ tsp
- Baking powder 2 tsp
- Plain flour 180 gm
- Ground almonds 75g
- Eggs 3
- Milk 2 tbsp
- Cocoa powder 3 tbsp
- Hot water 3 tbsp
- Chocolate chips 100 gm
- Icing sugar to dust 30 gm
Method:
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Stir in the almond essence. Mix the baking powder, flour and ground almonds. Beat in one egg at a time, adding a spoonful of the flour mixture in between. Repeat until all three eggs have been added, then fold in the remaining flour mixture and stir in the milk. Spoon half of the cake batter into a separate bowl and mix in the cocoa paste. Add the chocolate chips to the other half of the mixture. Add spoonfuls of each of the batters alternately to the greased bundt tin and drag the handle of a teaspoon through the mixture to create a marbled effect. Bake at 180 degrees C for around 40 minutes and then test the cake to see if a skewer inserted into the deepest part comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the tin for 10 minutes before turning out onto a cooling rack. Once cooled, dust the cake with a little icing sugar.
