.Thermomix Cooking - Marble Cake.

We rate this marble cake pretty high.  The recipe originally came from a cooking magazine and I adapted it to the thermomix.  Very quick and easy, lovely and moist and stays fresh for days.

Marble Cake
180g butter
1 tsp vanilla
220g sugar
3 eggs
300g self-raising flour
160g milk
1 Tbs vinegar

3 Tbs cocoa
Pink food colouring


Place first 7 ingredients into TM bowl.  Blend together on speed 5 for 1 minute.
Divide mixture into three portions.  Place two portions in small mixing bowls and leave the third in the TM bowl.
Add cocoa to TM bowl.  Mix on speed 5 for 10 seconds.
Add a few drops of pink food colouring to one of the extra bowls.  Stir through.
Alternately drop spoonfuls of all three mixtures into a greased and lined loaf pan.  Continue until all mixture is used up.
Create marbled effect by swirling a skewer back and forth through the mixture a few times.  Tap pan on bench to evenly distribute mixture.
Bake in a moderate oven for 1 hour - check to see if it is cooked, it may need an extra 10 minutes or so.
When cold, ice with pink icing.

  2. hmmm...not sure exactly - just regular sized pan? Not huge, I don't think you could get a loaf pan smaller than the one I used if that helps!
