Just before Easter, I made the above cake for my colleague and friend Shauna's birthday. It is a an old fashioned marble cake, from the Australian Women's Weekly Bake cookbook.
I made this cake using brown sugar instead of white caster sugar because at the time, that was all that I had in the house. It seemed to turn out just fine, regardless. Although it is not the prettiest cake I have ever made, I think it is quite respectable, and tasted, well - like cake. I simply decorated it with water icing.
The recipe is very similar to this one, except that for the three colours, I had white, pink (using pink food colouring) and chocolate using cocoa powder instead of white, chocolate and orange.
Marble cake is an old favourite and easy to make, although it is impressive to look at. If you need a quick party cake, you could do worse than a marble cake.
awwww lovely! marble cakes do rock :)
