👩🍳 Instructions
- 1 Preheat the oven to 340°F (170°C). Grease a loaf pan or a 9-inch (22 cm) round pan with margarine, then line the bottom with parchment paper.
- 2 Beat the margarine, butter, and granulated sugar with a mixer on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 5-7 minutes.
- 3 Add the eggs one at a time while continuing to beat, making sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- 4 In a separate bowl, combine the flour, powdered milk, baking powder, vanilla powder, and salt; sift to prevent lumps.
- 5 Gradually add the flour mixture into the butter mixture, alternating with the liquid milk. Gently fold with a spatula using a fold-over technique until just combined; don't overmix.
- 6 Divide the batter into two equal portions. Leave one portion plain (vanilla batter), and mix the other with cocoa powder and chocolate paste, stirring until the color is evenly distributed.
- 7 Pour the batters into the pan spoonful by spoonful, alternating between the vanilla and chocolate batters.
- 8 Use a skewer or thin stick to create the marble pattern by swirling the surface of the batter in circular or zig-zag motions—don't overdo it, or the pattern will blend together too much.
- 9 Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the surface is set and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- 10 Remove the cake from the oven and let it rest in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack and let it cool completely before slicing.
💡 Tips
• Make sure the margarine and butter are at room temperature before beating so the cake texture turns out softer and rises perfectly.
• Don't overmix the batter after adding the flour, as this can make the cake dense and tough.
• Use a good-quality chocolate paste for a richer color and aroma in the chocolate portion.
• For a more dramatic marble pattern, don't swirl the surface of the batter too much when creating the swirl design.
