Easy Marble Butter Cake First Attempt

My initial plan was to make basic butter cake. Then, I remember I had some cocoa powder so I decided to make marble cake instead hahaha! It’s my first time making butter cake. it was sure a surprise as I didn’t expect it to turn out well. Beginner’s luck maybe?

Ingredients:
110g unsalted butter (room temperature)
80g castor sugar
2 medium eggs
140gm self-rising flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla essence
80ml milk
3/4 tbsp cocoa powder

Steps:
I used Speed “1” for all the mixing.

1. Beat butter till creamy.
2. Add sugar and continue beating until incorporated.
3. Add eggs and beat until incorporated.
4. Add salt and vanilla essence and beat until the mixture is pale and bubbly.
5. Fold in flour.
6. Add milk in stages and fold until the batter is smooth and runny.
7. Scoop 3 tbsp of batter into a small bowl to make brown-coloured batter.
8. Mix the cocoa powder with the batter in a small bowl.
9. Pour the both batter alternately into a lined baking tin. I’m using a 2lb tin. Just be creative with your design.
10. Bake in preheated oven at 160 degrees Celsius for 45-50 minutes.

I’m using Elba Stand Mixer. You can buy the mixer from here https://invl.io/clkdhxm
