Pink Marble Cake

Sprinkle with small splatterings of gold paint.

Pink marble cake.

Beat the butter sugar flour and eggs together in a large bowl using an electric whisk until it s lump free. Drip chocolate ganache around the sides and over the top of the cake. This one is strawberry and vanilla flavoured. 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. Cover cake with buttercream using semi naked method of icing. Cakes with a marble effect are all the rage these days. 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. Spray or lightly butter two 9 inch cake pans. Two 8 cakes or 24 cupcakes. Preheat oven to 350 f 177 c.

Sift the cake flour baking powder and salt together in a large bowl. 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. Heat the oven to 180c 160c fan gas 4. Place cake onto cake stand.

Arrange marbled chocolate decorations gilded berries and candied lemon slices on top of the cake. 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.
