This is a perfect tea-time treat, a classic chocolate and vanilla marble loaf cake with just a hint of mocha, provided by black coffee.
Ingredients:
175g butter
175g caster sugar
3 eggs, lightly beaten
½ tsp vanilla extract
225g self-raising flour
pinch salt
2 tbsp milk
2 tbsp cocoa powder
2 tbsp strong black coffee, cooled
Method:
Pre-heat your oven to 180°C (160°C Fan/Gas Mark 4). Grease and line a 900g loaf tin or 20cm diameter round tin.
Cream together the butter and sugar with an electric whisk in a large mixing bowl until very pale and fluffy. Add the beaten egg, a little at a time, whisking well after each addition. Once the eggs ar fully incorporated whisk in the vanilla extract.
Sift together the flour and salt into a large bowl, then fold this gently into the butter and egg mixture.
Divide the cake batter into two equal portions (about 350g each).
Add the milk to one portion of the mixture, stirring in gently until well combined.
Mix the cocoa powder and the coffee together in a mug to form a smooth paste. Stir this paste into the other portion of the cake batter until thoroughly combined.
Spoon large blobs of each cake mixture into the prepared tin, alternating the flavours to give a marble effect.
Transfer to the centre of your pre-heated oven and bake for 50–60 minutes until the cake is springy to the touch and a wooden skewer inserted into the centre of the cake emerges cleanly.
Allow the cake to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely before slicing and serving.
