  • Feel free to try different patterns…
  • Using a butter knife or a small spatula, swirl cake using a 3-figure-eight motions starting deep from the left to the right, and repeat from the opposite side. Make a couple of cup cakes with leftovers batter (bake them for 30 minutes).

Baking

  • Bake marbled cake in a fan oven at 330ºF/160ºC for 65 minutes. If using conventional oven, extend baking time. Cake is done when the knife inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean. Let poundcake cool for half an hour, and de-mold. Let cool completely, wrap in cling film and place in the refrigerator overnight.
