Ingredients

• 225g Margarine
• 225g Sugar and Crumbs Velvet Vanilla Natural Flavoured Icing Sugar
• 275g Gluten Free Self Raising Flour
• 4 Large Eggs
• 2 Tsp Baking Powder
• 1 Tbsp Sugar and Crumbs Natural Non-Flavoured Cocoa Powder
• 2 Tbsp Hot Water

For the Ganache

• 40ml Double Cream
• 75g S & C Tempered Milk Chocolate
• 10g Butter

Instructions

1. Grease and line a 2LB loaf Tin and preheat the oven to fan 170C 325F / Gas mark 3.

2. Cream the margarine and Natural Flavoured Icing Sugar together until light and fluffy.

3. Add your eggs one at a time and mix thoroughly. If the mixture looks like it is curdling add a good teaspoon of flour with each egg whilst mixing.

4. Mix the cocoa powder with the hot water in a bowl and stir until it has dissolved then put this to one side and cool slightly.

5. Fold in the flour or mix at very low speed until it has been combined with the rest of the ingredients, then turn up the speed to medium-high for no more than 30 seconds.

6. Put half of the cake batter into a separate bowl and add the cocoa liquid folding it in all the time until it has combined.

7. Pour the chocolate cake batter into the loaf tin and spread it out evenly then add the white cake batter to the top again levelling it out.

8. With a spoon, turn over the chocolate cake batter to the top at each end, this will create the marbled effect inside the cake. Level the top again with a pallet knife and you will have created a marbled effect on top of the cake.

9. Bake in the oven for 45-50 mins or until the cake is firm to the touch and a cake tester or cocktail stick when inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean.

10. Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the tin for at least 20 minutes before transferring it to a wire cooling rack to completely cool.

Topping

11. The Ganache topping can now be made by heating the cream to boiling point and then pouring over the S & C Tempered Chocolate buttons, keep stirring until all the buttons have melted then add the butter and stir until that has also dissolved. Leave the ganache to 1 side to cool and thicken up.

12. Once the chocolate marbled cake has completely cooled spoon the now thick ganache paste onto the top of the cake and spread using a palette knife.

13. To finish the decoration you can sprinkle PME Caramel Chocolate Curls onto the ganache or grated chocolate.

This will keep for up to a week if stored in an airtight container.
