How to Make Sashas Marble Birthday Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Grease an 18cm deep round cake tin with a few drops of oil, using a pastry brush to coat evenly.
- Cut a circle of greaseproof paper to fit the bottom of the tin and press it in.
- Lightly brush the base with oil.
- Combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 1 cup (2 sticks) softened margarine, 1 tbsp milk, 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla extract in a food processor.
- Whisk 3 large eggs in a small bowl and add to the food processor.
- Process for 2 minutes, or until well combined.
- Divide the batter into three bowls.
- In the first bowl, add a few drops of pink food coloring and mix well.
- In the second bowl, add ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder and the remaining 2 tbsp milk. Mix well.
- Spoon alternating dollops of white, chocolate, and pink batter into the prepared cake tin.
- Use a round-bladed knife to swirl the batter gently, creating a marble effect.
- Level the top of the batter.
- Bake for approximately 60-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. The cake should be golden brown on top.
- Gently press the top of the cake; if it springs back, it's done.
- Run a knife around the edge of the cake and invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Peel off the greaseproof paper.
- Once cooled, melt 6 oz of your favorite chocolate in a double boiler or microwave.
- Pour melted chocolate over the cake and spread evenly with a palette knife.
- Decorate with your favorite sweets and candles.
