Pink Marble Cake

I love adding pink but you can choose any one or two colours of your choice.

Pink marble cake.

Heat the oven to 180c 160c fan gas 4. This cake takes different shades of pink icing to create a marble like effect on the exterior of the cake and gold foil is used to bring shine to this design. Sprinkle with small splatterings of gold paint. Two 8 cakes or 24 cupcakes.

Place cake onto cake stand. Adding a touch of colour to cake batter creates elegance fun or festivity depending on what colour you choose. Cover cake with buttercream using semi naked method of icing. Butter and line the bases of two 18cm sandwich tins.

Arrange marbled chocolate decorations gilded berries and candied lemon slices on top of the cake. Cakes with a marble effect are all the rage these days. Drip chocolate ganache around the sides and over the top of the cake. Beat the butter sugar flour and eggs together in a large bowl using an electric whisk until it s lump free.

As a change from having chocolate marble cake you can make just about any colour of marble cake that you like out of my soft basic vanilla cake recipe. 35 to 40 minutes. Spray or lightly butter two 9 inch cake pans. 15 minutes bake time.

Sift the cake flour baking powder and salt together in a large bowl. With a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment beat the butter on high speed in a large bowl until smooth and creamy about 1 minute.
