I just love making marble cake. I always experimenting the marbling effect and I think this design is what I like the most. This cake is soft, moist, and most importantly, fun to make. This pretty cake is suitable for an afternoon tea with families and friends.Ingredients :
226 grm soft butter (2 sticks)
220 grm sugar
6 eggs
260 grm flour
4 tbsp of milk
1 tsp of baking powder
¼ tsp salt
Food coloring – pink and green
Flavoring – mint/pandan, strawberry and Vanilla
1. Prepared a round 68" baking pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper and greased with some butter. Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in eggs one at a time and beat until well combined.
2. Sift flour with baking powder and salt. Slow down the speed of the mixer and slowly add in the flour. Lastly add in the milk.
3. Divide batter into 3 portions. Add one portion with mint or pandan flavor and add a few drop of green coloring. In another portion add a few drop of strawberry flavor and some pink coloring. The last portion just leave it plain and add a few drop of vanilla to it. Stir well.
4. The most important part is assembling the batter in the baking pan. Drop about 3 tbsp of the better to the middle of the baking pan. Follow by the other color batter on top of each other. Proceed to do the same to the rest of the batter. Do not stir, swirl or shake the pan. The batter will spread on it own.
5. Bake the cake in a pre-heated 350 degree F oven for an hour or until golden brown. Stand cake 10 mins. in pan then tun onto wire rack to cool.

ReplyDeleteHi Gert, Nice layering effect...anyway, I've just nominated you with a "Kreativ Award" please check it out at my blog...thank you! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm confused. How did it go around if there's only 3 tbsp at a time. Is it 3 tbsp all the way around the cake pan?

Aimei, thanks for the award.
ReplyDeleteRachel, thank you.
Anon, hope you like it.
Mima, thank for the award.
Laura, when you put 3 tbsp of batter at the middle of the pan and then top it with another 3 tbsp of other colors, the batter will spread on its own all the way to the side of the pan by the time you finish with all the batter. Check out note 4.
Simply lovely, love the colors marbling effect! This is just a normal butter cake recipe right?
ReplyDeleteThat is a great looking cake that I will have to try... The color variations are endless, great idea :)

Never thought of making a tri marble (probably because of the extra work, but it looks very impressive! :)
ReplyDeleteOlivia, you are welcome. Hope you like the cake.
ReplyDeleteChristelle, thank you.
I just tried to make one of those.
ReplyDeleteThe layering happens because the layers push each other.
I didn't find any food coloring, so I used raspberries and green tea for my layers. Use raspberries instead of milk for the pink layers, then I was going to add the proportional milk to the other two layers, but I forgot, so those layers werea heavier than the others so my pink was barely noticeable. Also it was like a depresing version of this cake. Still, i think it is cool.
I try to convince myself that making mistakes is how you learn why you make certain things in a certain way so it is worth it, plus taste wise is ok.

Also my sister used all the baking powder without telling me so I did a weird substitution with baking soda. It grew and no weird flavors so I guess it was ok if you consider how many weird things I've done.
Hi! You have a nice blog. Thanks for peeping into my blog.
ReplyDeleteLucia, thank you for your update on your cake.
