Chocolate Marble Cake

Hey readers, I'm back in action. I have been MIA for quite some time because I was busy preparing for trials. Anyway this weekend, me and my mum baked chocolate marble cake. Chocolate marble cake is just normal butter cake but you divided the mixture into two and mix with cocoa. We did not use melted chocolate or either cocoa powder but we use chocolate emulco. Once I saw this recipe I knew that this would be a good recipe because of the feedback but we modified the recipe a little to get extra moist and fluffy texture.

Ingredients.
250g butter
200g sugar
6 large eggs (seprated)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 teaspoon chocolate emulco
300g self raising flour (sifted)
1/2 - 3/4 cup of evaporated milk

1. Preheat oven to 160C.
2. Beat butter and sugar till light and creamy. Add in the egg yolks and beat well after each addition. Add in the vanilla essence and mix well.
3.Add in the flour alternately with the evaporated milk ending with milk.
4. Beat the egg white till soft peak and fold in gently to the flour mixture.
5. Seprated out the mixture and add in the chocolate emulco to one of the mixture.
6. Pour the white mixture alternately with the chocolate mixture in a cake tin. Before baking using a toothpick or knife create a swirl effect. Remember not to over swirl.
7. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until done.

* For moist cake add 1/2 cup of evaporated milk and for very moist add 3/4 cup. I add 1/2 and the texture was just nice for me.
* Instead of evaporated milk I use normal milk and for the vanilla essence I added another 1/2 teaspoon.
