Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams dark chocolate
- 100 grams white chocolate
- 200 grams caster sugar
- 100 grams brown sugar
- 180 milliliters whole milk
- 200 grams plain flour
- 30 grams cocoa powder
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) and line an 8-inch round cake tin with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter, dark chocolate, and both sugars over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder.
Whisk the eggs and vanilla extract into the cooled chocolate mixture, then stir in the milk.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, folding gently until well combined. Avoid overmixing.
Pour two-thirds of the batter into the prepared cake tin.
Melt the white chocolate gently in the microwave or over a double boiler. Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the remaining third of the batter and gently swirl it to create a marbled effect.
Spoon the marbled batter over the chocolate batter in the cake tin. Use a skewer or knife to create gentle swirls, achieving a marbled pattern throughout the batter.
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 70-75 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Cool the cake in the tin for about 15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
