Marble cake

I made this chocolate marble cake again on Wednesday. So yummy. I thought I'd better share the recipe with you. It comes from the book 'Tamasin's Kitchen Bible'

Marble cake

• 100 grams dark chocolate
• 60 ml milk
• 110 grams unsalted butter (softened)
• 140 grams castor sugar
• 1 teas. vanilla
• 2 eggs
• 225 grams self-raising flour
• 1 teas. baking powder
• 60 ml milk
• 55 grams sour cream

Preheat oven to 170 degrees. Grease a loaf tin. Melt the chocolate and 60 mls of milk in a double boiler. Set aside. Cream the butter, sugar and vanilla until pale and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time. Mix the flour with the baking powder and the remaining 60 mls of milk with the sour cream. Alternately add the flour and milk to the butter and sugar mixture, mix well with each addition. Add half of the vanilla cake mixture with the melted chocolate. You will now have a bowl of vanilla cake mixture and a bowl of chocolate cake mixture. With two separate spoons, spoon the mixture into the tin alternately so that the result will be marbled. Bake for 50-55 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean. Cool in the tin for 10 minutes before turning onto a wire rack to cool completely.

I know it sounds a bit confusing, but believe me, it's really easy.
