    This Thermomix Marble Cake is just like the classic Marble Cake you grew up with! It is made using a simple vanilla cake batter which is then divided into three parts. The result is a soft, moist and delicious cake which is perfect for your next special occasion or morning tea.

    This cake is a simple butter cake recipe which is then split into three portions to colour. To ensure that you get a really cool marble effect, it's important to not over mix the mixture with your butter knife when combining, otherwise the colours will combine into one.
