Kinda intrigued by Facebook friends, saw the pics of marble cake, makes me wanna make my own. But since I like this latest creation - Mrs NgSK's recipe and the type of texture yield, I decided to modify her recipe.
Initially wanted a Chocolate & Butter combination, ends up with Chocolate, Strawberry & Butter combination. I like chocolate a lot, not for hubby though and my lovely princess love strawberry, therefore the 3 flavours. Didn't have any strawberries or strawberry milk, so I ended up using essence and a drop of pink.
Using the same method, it took me extra 20mins to mix the additional flavours and also to mix the cake batter. Wasn't that well mix cos my hand so tired from the creaming of cake batter. Luckily the final product is yummy. Everyone loves it.

50gm + 150gm sugar

3. Cream butter and 150gm sugar until pale and fluffy (KA speed 2-4 ). Put in vanilla seeds and and beat for a while. Put in egg yolks one by one and beat well after each addition.
4. Put in half the flour and mix on low speed until incorporated. Put in milk in 2 additions and mix until well incorporated. Mix in balance of flour.5. Put half the egg whites in and mix on low speed. Pour the balance of egg whites in and FOLD.6. Pour batter into pan and level.
7. Divide into 3 portion and add 1Tbsp of Cocoa Powder to 1, add 1Tbsp strawberry essence + drop of pink and leave the remaining as it is. Pour batter alternate into pan and level
