A marble cake is a butter cake which has been divided into three – just
flavour one portion with chocolate ( use either cocoa, or if you really
want good flavour, use melted chocolate), colour a second portion with red
(cochineal), and the third part is flavoured vanilla. When putting it in
the pan, just dollop it in then give it a swirl, and lo and behold,
“marble”.
Cream butter and sugar, beat in eggs one at a time. Sift four, cream of
tartar and bicarb soda together, then stir into creamed mixture alternately
with milk to make a ‘dropping’ consistency. Divide mixture into three
parts, colouring them with cocoa (or melted chocolate), cochineal, and
vanilla respectively. Use about a 9″ cake pan, that is greased and has
paper lining the base. Bake in a moderate oven (350F) app, 1 hour.
