Chilli Chocolate Marble Cake

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 180°C. Prepare a 20cm round cake pan with non-stick grease. Line the base with parchment paper.

   Tip: Use non-stick grease to prevent the cake from sticking to the pan.

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.

   Tip: Use a whisk to ensure the dry ingredients are well combined.

3. 3

   In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Set aside.

   Tip: Whisk until the eggs are fully incorporated into the milk mixture.

4. 4

   Add the unsalted butter to the dry ingredients and whisk until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

   Tip: Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl.

5. 5

   Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients and whisk until a smooth batter forms.

   Tip: Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl.

6. 6

   Divide the batter evenly between two bowls.

7. 7

   In one of the bowls, add the chilli flakes, chopped dark chocolate, and mix until well combined.

   Tip: Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl.

8. 8

   Pour half of the batter into the prepared cake pan. Top with the chilli-chocolate mixture. Repeat the layers.

   Tip: Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl.

9. 9

   Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

   Tip: Use a toothpick to check the cake is fully cooked.

10. 10

    Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
