If you are looking for an easy and fun-looking cake to bring to your high tea with friends, search no more! This Marble Loaf Cake is the best option to enjoy during the weekend with the family. Or maybe to show-off at the office? No matter the reason, this is an absolute crowd-pleaser, elegant and a total classic.

I remember doing this recipe one soooo many times when I was a kid, I know you, or even your kids will love doing it. The best bit for me is trying to achieve the perfect marble effect. This time, as you can see in the images, I got a very yin-and-yang-inspired loaf, which I adore! I am sure you’ll love it too!

Ingredients
  

Cake:

  • 150 g unsalted butter room temperature
  • 300 g sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tbsp vanilla essence
  • ¼ cup vanilla yogurt
  • 450 g self-rising flour
  • 3 tbsp raw cacao
  • ½ cup milk

Ganache:

  • 250 g dark chocolate
  • 250 ml heavy cream

Instructions
 

Cake:

  • Preheat your oven to 180 ºC and lightly grease a loaf tin.
  • In a large bowl, mix the butter and the sugar.
  • Add the eggs and vanilla esence and mix well. Add the yogur and mix for a few more minutes.
  • Fold the flour until it’s all well combined.
  • Using a spoon (or ice cream scoop), put half of the batter in the tin, leaving some space in between for the chocolate mix.
  • Incorporate the raw cacao and milk to the remaining batter.
  • Add chocolate batter on and between vanilla mix in the loaf tin. Swirl the batter with a toothpick in order to get the marble effect.
  • Bake for 30 minutos.
  • Let it cool completely before spreading the ganache.

Ganache:

  • Heat the cream in a saucepan at medium heat until it simmers.
  • Once it simmers, pour on the chocolate without stirring. Let it rest for a few minutes.
  • Whisk until you get an even consistency.
  • Let it rest to room temperature.
  • Spread the loaf cake with the ganache and enjoy!

Notes

  • STORAGE: It lasts for around 3 days in the fridge. I recommend keeping it cool mainly because of the ganache, although it could last a day at room temperature.

    It’s difficult to find well-informed people for this topic, but you seem like you know what you’re talking about!
    Thanks

Hola!

I’m Paula. Baker by legacy thanks to my grandma and mom, curious by nature. I’ll share all the go-to recipes I’ve learnt from my family back in Argentina and some others I’ve picked up along the way. Some decadent, some healthy-ish. Happy baking!

Hola 👋🏼 In case we haven't met, I'm Paula, t Hola 👋🏼 In case we haven't met, I'm Paula, the everything behind En Casa (baker, photographer, cleaner, sales rep, marketing "expert", delivery driver, customer service and so much more).⁠
⁠
I hardly ever post my face here, but I thought I would share 10 random things so you get to know me a bit better:⁠
⁠
1. Originally from Olavarría 🇦🇷, I have lived in the US for a year and a bit (both Ohio and Colorado have a piece of my heart), then 10 years in Buenos Aires and 9 years in Melbourne ).⁠
⁠
2. I've never been much of a beach person (mountains all the way!), but just moved to a beach town and loving and embracing this new life!!⁠
⁠
3. I hardly ever wear make-up. If I do, the bare minimum... ⁠
⁠
4. Even though I'm quite chatty, I'm also very shy in big groups or new situations/meeting new people. ⁠
⁠
5. My love language is food.⁠
⁠
6. I save all my money to travel (and probably buy food + plants + books 🤣). ⁠
⁠
7. I'm a big sci-fi + Marvel nerd. I've recently finished watching all the Marvel movies chronologically (old COVID times...)⁠
⁠
8. I shouldn't admit this but I prefer quince paste to dulce de leche any day of the week 🤫🤫⁠
⁠
9. I love deep chats and all things self-development and growth. Always learning and evolving...⁠
⁠
10. I'm a lone wolf 🤣, but still enjoy company if it's good vibes and meaningful. ⁠
⁠
If you are still reading, THANK YOU!!! ❤️ And make sure to come say Hola! at my next market!! ⁠
----⁠

So excited to announce the upcoming markets!!⁠
⁠
Can't wait to introduce Port to alfajores, pasta frola, and all yummy Argentinian baked goods. I don't think you know what's coming hahaha 😋⁠
⁠
