- A marble cake is a butter cake which has been divided into three -
- just flavour one portion with chocolate ( use either cocoa, or if you
- really want good flavour, use melted chocolate), colour a second
- portion with red (cochineal), and the third part is flavoured vanilla.
- When putting it in the pan, just dollop it in then give it a swirl,
- and lo and behold, "marble".
-
- 8 oz butter
- 8 oz sugar
- 4 eggs
- 2 cups flour
- 2 teasp. cream of tartar
- 1 teasp. bi-carb soda
- small cup milk
- 1 tabsp. cocoa OR 2-3 oz chocolate (melted)
- vanilla
-
- Cream butter and sugar, beat in eggs one at a time. Sift four, cream
- of tartar and bicarb soda together, then stir into creamed mixture
- alternately with milk to make a 'dropping' consistency. Divide
- mixture into three parts, colouring them with cocoa (or melted
- chocolate), cochineal, and vanilla respectively.
- Use about a 9" cake pan, that is greased and has paper lining the
- base. Bake in a moderate oven (350F) app, 1 hour.
- Have fun, and happy eating.
