Decorated Chocolate Marble Butter Cake



I know most of us love chocolate. But not everybody love chocolate. Among my friends, especially the older generation, some of them do not really like the after taste of chocolate. Well, in order to please everyone- the younger generation & the older generation. I make a cake something in between - a chocolate marble cake. We have the vanilla cake batter & the some chocolate cake batter in this cake.

Pls refer to this link for the recipies:

This is a normal butter cake recipies. In order to make the marble chocolate effect. You can do this:

75g of chocolate

Method:
-Melt the chocolate in a double boiler.
-Double boiler means: heated water in a pot & put a bowl of chocolate on top. Use the steam to melt the chocolate. Never melt chocolate using direct heat. It will burn & turn bitter.
-Let the melted chocolate cool.
-Mix the cooled melted chocolate with 1/3 of the cake batter.
- Use the skewer to make some swirl pattern in the cake mold after you alternate pouring the 2 different cake batter in the mold.

Then I decorated it with some butter cream & flowers.

Here is the recipes for the butter cream icing:
