This marble cake is very fancy looking so you won't believe how easy it is to make! This is my grandma's recipe.
Ingredients
Serves: 18
- 250g butter
- 1 3/4 cups (400g) sugar
- 5 egg yolks
- 3 1/2 cups (450g) plain flour
- 1 cup (250ml) milk
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 5 egg whites
- 2 tablespoons sweet cocoa

Ready in:1hour30min
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees C. Grease and flour one 25cm ring tin.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter with the sugar. Beat in egg yolks. Continue beating for 10 minutes.
- Gradually stir in flour, alternating with splashes of milk, until all of the flour and milk are mixed in. Stir in baking powder.
- In a separate bowl, beat egg whites. Fold egg whites into batter.
- Reserve 1/2 of the batter and pour the rest into the prepared tin.
- Mix cocoa into the remaining 1/2 of the batter. Then turn into ring tin and fold under with a fork to produce a marbled appearance.

Very yummy! Not dry at all. I changed a few things. I lessened the flour to 3 cups, added 1 tsp. vanilla and added 1 more tbsp. baking cocoa. I didn't mix it for 10 minutes, I just watched until it turned lighter coloured. I used a bundt pan, greased and floured it. Baked it for 50 minutes. No problem coming out of the pan. Added a dusting of powdered sugar. Very similar to my mom's but this one wasn't dry Absolutely will make again. - 17 Mar 2007 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
The cake from this recipe is dry,not so sweet and I can taste the eggs,(Yuck) perhaps if it had other ingredients like chocolate chips, something sweet, or even a glaze over the top to liven it up some, this recipe might be a bit better. As another reviewer mentioned,I also had a VERY hard time getting it out of my pan. - 24 Jan 2007 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
This recipe is definitely a keeper. A very light an fluffy cake. I added vanilla extract to the white batter and unsweetened cocoa powder to chocolate batter to taste because I wanted more flavor, but the texture of the cake is perfect. - 21 Nov 2006 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
