Instructions

Prepare Chocolate Mixture: Begin by creaming the butter and sugar together until they are light and fluffy, creating a smooth base for your cake’s rich chocolate flavor.
-
-
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the flour and cocoa powder, ensuring they are evenly distributed for consistent chocolatey goodness throughout the cake.
-
Combine Ingredients: Gradually add spoonfuls of the flour mixture to the creamed butter and sugar, alternating with eggs, until both the flour mixture and eggs are fully incorporated. If the mixture appears too dry, gently incorporate milk until the desired consistency is achieved.
-
Prepare White Mixture: In another bowl, repeat the process of creaming together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add flour gradually, followed by eggs, until all ingredients are combined into a smooth, creamy mixture.
-
Prepare Baking Tray: Butter and flour a baking tray measuring 24cm by 24cm, ensuring the cake does not stick to the pan during baking.
-
Create Marble Effect: Spoon alternating blobs of the chocolate and white mixtures into the prepared baking tray, creating a checkerboard pattern of flavors.
-
Swirl Mixture: Using a butter knife, gently swirl the mixtures together in the tray, creating a mesmerizing marble effect while ensuring not to overmix, preserving distinct layers of chocolate and vanilla.
-
Bake: Preheat the oven to gas mark 6 (approximately 200°C or 400°F) and bake the cake for approximately 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating it is fully cooked.
-
Final Touches: As the cake nears completion, melt plain chocolate over a pan of boiling water, creating a smooth, glossy topping for your masterpiece.
-
Decoration: Once the cake has cooled, spread the melted chocolate evenly over the top, allowing it to drip down the sides for a decadent finish. Sprinkle with coconut powder for an added touch of flavor and texture.
