Ingredients:

Butter 225 grams

Caster sugar 225 grams
Eggs 5

Self raising flour 225 grams

Milk 3 tablespoons

Vanilla essence 1 teaspoon

Cocoa powder 2 tablespoons

Direction:

Heat oven to 180C/gas. Grease a 20cm cake tin and line the bottom with a circle of greaseproof paper. Beat the butter and sugar together, then add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Fold through the flour, milk and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.

Divide the mixture between 2 bowls. Stir the cocoa powder into the mixture in one of the bowls. Take 2 spoons and use them to dollop the chocolate and vanilla cake mixes into the tin alternately. Take a skewer and swirl it around the mixture in the tin a few times to create a marbled effect.

Bake the cake for 25-35 minutes until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Turn out onto a cooling rack and leave to cool. Add some chocolate syrup over the cake which makes it more tasty.
