Chocolate Strawberry Marble Cake

Ingredients

Cocoa powder 1/4 cup

Strawberries 6

Flour 1.75 cups

Buttermilk 1/2 cup

Baking powder 2 tsp

Sugar 1 cup

Butter 130 g

Salt 1/2 tsp

Vanilla extract 1 tsp

Eggs 3

Purse the strawberries in a food processor until smooth. Strain through a sieve. Mix with the buttermilk. For a richer pink hue, add a few drops of food coloring. Set aside.

In a separate bowl, combine the cocoa powder and 1/4 cup boiling water. Mix until smooth.

Combine the flour, salt, and baking powder. In a separate bowl, beat the butter and sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time and continue beating. Add the vanilla. Now add the flour mixture and strawberry mixture alternately. Mix until smooth.

Set aside 1/3 of the dough (about 1 cup). Add the chocolate mixture to the reserved dough and knead well.

Now layer the two types of dough in a well-greased pan. To create a marbling effect, use a knife to create streaks.

Bake at 180°C for 40-45 minutes. Let the dough cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert it to remove the cake.

Enjoy!
