Having chocolate marble cake when I was a child was a treat, I would eat along the different colours keeping the chocolate bit for the end. This cake is easy to make and is great as an afternoon tea cake or sliced for lunch box treat (cell wrap the slices individually, freeze and place frozen in lunch boxes, it will be unfrozen by the time the child gets to it).
Ingredients
- 100 g of chocolate 64 to 70% cocoa
- 180 g butter melted
- 150 g of brown sugar (cassonade in French)
- a drop of vanilla essence
- 4 eggs
- 200 g of self raising flour or 200 g of plain flour and 1 heaped teaspoon of raising powder (if using raising powder in sachet, one sachet).
Method
- Butter and flour well your tins. Warm up the oven on 180°C.
- Mix the sugar and butter well, then mix in the egg yolks one at the time, add the vanilla.
- Mix in the flour and raising powder and divide in two bowls.
- Melt the chocolate.  In one of the bowl, add the melted chocolate.
- Beat the egg white to snow. Divide in each of the bowls and fold gently.
- Pour in the tins alternating the mixes.
- Bake for about 45 minutes until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out dry. Then turn on a cooling rack.
