How to Make Chocolate Marble Cake

  1. **Chocolate Mixture:** Cream together 170g softened butter and 170g granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 200g all-purpose flour, 50g unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
  3. Gradually add about ⅓ of the dry ingredients to the creamed butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
  4. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. If the mixture is too dry, add 2-3 tablespoons of milk until you reach a smooth consistency.
  6. **White Mixture:** Cream together 170g softened butter and 170g granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  7. Gradually add 200g all-purpose flour, mixing until just combined.
  8. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  9. Grease and flour a 24cm x 24cm baking pan.
  10. Drop spoonfuls of the chocolate mixture and white mixture alternately into the prepared pan.
  11. Using a butter knife or skewer, gently swirl the batters together to create a marble effect.
  12. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (Gas Mark 4, 350°F) for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  13. While the cake bakes, melt 100g plain chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water.
  14. Once the cake is cooked, let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  15. Once cooled, spread the melted chocolate over the top of the cake and sprinkle generously with desiccated coconut.
