Ingredients
  • For the vanilla batter
  • 2½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup butter, softened, plus extra for greasing
  • 6 tablespoons caster sugar
  • 1 cup condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup milk
  • For the red velvet batter
  • 4 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 6 tablespoons warm water
  • ½ tsp red gel colour
  • For the chocolate glaze
  • 1 cup dark chocolate, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease an 8x4-inch loaf pan with butter and line it with parchment paper.
  2. In another bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until pale and fluffy.
  3. Add the condensed milk, milk and vanilla extract and whisk again. The mixture might look curdled at this point but it will come together when combined with the dry ingredients.
  4. To the same bowl add all-purpose flour, baking powder and baking soda and combine everything with the spatula.
  5. Divide the batter into two bowls.In a small bowl, combine the cocoa powder, red colour and warm water, whisking continuously so that there are no lumps.Add this to one of the bowls of batter and gently mix it in with a spatula.
  6. Transfer both the batters to two separate piping bags and pipe them into the pan alternately to get the perfect marble loaf cake look. Fill the loaf pan up to three-quarters of the way and bake for 45-50 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely before unmoulding
  7. To make the chocolate glaze, melt the chocolate over a double boiler and whisk in the vegetable oil till completely incorporated.
  8. Pour the glaze over the cooled marble loaf cake.
