If you are using non stick pan. I'll suggest you line with a piece of baking paper, to prevent the batter from spreading too fast. I think this could be the reason that caused my failure previously.
Alternate the batter to get the prints :
Alternating batter to fill up the baking pan |
Here is the basic butter cake recipe :
8" baking pan.
Ingredients :
5 eggs
250g butter
250g self raising flour
250g sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract / essence
60ml buttermilk
20g cocoa powder
Methods :
1. Prepare buttermilk : 60ml of fresh milk & 1 tbsp of lemon juice. Leave for 10 minutes. Make this before you start measuring the ingredients for the cake.
2. Cream butter & sugar until creamy.
3. Add egg one at a time into batter. Mix well.
4. Add in the vanilla essence then add in buttermilk to the batter.
5. Divide the batter equally into 2 portions into 2 mixing bowls.
6. Add cocoa powder to one of the batter, mix well.
7. Grease & line the baking pan. I only add a piece of baking paper on my non-stick pan.
8. Spoon 1 tbsp plain batter in the middle of the pan, then add 1 tbsp of cocoa batter onto the plain batter. Keep alternating both batters until you finished both batters.
9. Bake in a preheated oven at 175 degree C for 45mins or until cooked. Perform the toothpick test, toothpick should come out clean when cake is fully cooked.
10. Leave on the cooling rack to cool.
Chin's notes :
1. You can also make these into cupcakes. Baked in preheated oven at 180 degrees C for 20 mins or until cook.
2. If you like coffee, you can add a sachet of instant coffee mix to the cocoa batter.
3. Previously failed to get the visible prints with a different recipe. Here is a link Owl cake ?
