Pink Marble Cake

Cover cake with buttercream using semi naked method of icing.

Pink marble cake.

Adding a touch of colour to cake batter creates elegance fun or festivity depending on what colour you choose. I love adding pink but you can choose any one or two colours of your choice. Arrange marbled chocolate decorations gilded berries and candied lemon slices on top of the cake. This one is strawberry and vanilla flavoured.

Beat the butter sugar flour and eggs together in a large bowl using an electric whisk until it s lump free. 15 minutes bake time. Drip chocolate ganache around the sides and over the top of the cake. Place cake onto cake stand.

Spray or lightly butter two 9 inch cake pans. Fresh roses and pink macaroons adorn this dessert that can be a showstopper at any party. This cake takes different shades of pink icing to create a marble like effect on the exterior of the cake and gold foil is used to bring shine to this design. Cakes with a marble effect are all the rage these days.

Butter and line the bases of two 18cm sandwich tins. 35 to 40 minutes. As a change from having chocolate marble cake you can make just about any colour of marble cake that you like out of my soft basic vanilla cake recipe. Preheat oven to 350 f 177 c.

With a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment beat the butter on high speed in a large bowl until smooth and creamy about 1 minute. Two 8 cakes or 24 cupcakes.
