CHOCOLATE APRICOT MARBLE LOAF

butter

sugar

eggs

220 g plain flour (sifted)

baking powder

sea salt flakes

milk of choice

g chocolate

cocoa powder

g apricot (chopped)

lemon

Pre-heat oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced). Grease and line a 1.5 litre loaf tin (base measurements 10cm X 20cm X 7cm) with baking paper.

Beat butter, sugar and eggs with an electric beater until pale and fluffy.

Add flour, baking powder, salt and milk to the egg mixture. Beat for a few seconds until thoroughly combined and smooth.

Divide mixture into two bowls.

To one bowl, add the dark chocolate and cocoa powder. Mix well.

To the other bowl of batter, add chopped apricot and lemon zest. Mix well.

Spoon chocolate batter into the prepared tin covering the entire base of the tin. Spoon the apricot batter on top of the chocolate batter and spread evenly throughout the tin.

Push a wooden chopstick or a wooden spoon straight down into the batter and dredge up the chocolate batter through the apricot batter bringing it up to the surface in a swirly motion. Do this a total of 3-4 times in different spots to create a marble effect through the batter.

Bake in the pre-heated oven for approximately one hour. Check if the cake is done by inserting a wooden skewer through the middle. If it doesn't come out clean, bake for another 5 minutes.

Remove from the oven when completely cooked. Cool completely in the tin. Slice and serve.

Here is a recipe that will make you go back to childhood: the Marble cake!

Super Moist Marble Cake

flour

milk

chocolate

Vanilla extract

salt

Preheat the oven to 175 ° C (conventional heat).

In a large bowl, mix the butter with the sugar and vanilla extract. Beat until the mixture is creamy. Add the eggs one at a time while continuing to beat. Add the milk.

In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt. Gradually stir the flour into the liquid mixture.

Divide the batter in half. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler and add it to one of the two doughs. Add the cocoa. Mix well.

Grease a cake tin or line it with baking paper. Pour in ¼ part of the vanilla batter, then ¼ of the chocolate batter, continue in this way, alternating colors. Finally, stick the tip of a knife into the cake tin and draw an S shape. This will make a nice pattern after baking.

Bake for 45 minutes. Cover with foil if the cake starts to darken. Check with a knife to see if it is cooked through and put it in the oven for another 5-10 minutes if necessary.
