Castor sugar, 3/8 cups (48 grams)
Baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon
Cocoa powder, 1 tablespoon
For the cheese cake
Unsalted butter, 125 grams
1 egg
Plain flour, 1/2 cup (64 grams)
Castor sugar, 3/8 cups (48 grams)
Baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon
Cocoa powder, 1 tablespoon
Cream cheese, 250 grams
1 egg
Vanilla essence, 1 teaspoon
Castor sugar, 1/2 cup (64 grams)
Method
STEP 1
Preheat oven to Gas Mark 3 (160 degrees) and prepare a cake tin.
STEP 2
We're making the chocolate cake first. Melt butter and add the cocoa powder to it. Leave to cool for around 5 minutes.
STEP 3
Add sugar and beat until sugar has dissolved.
STEP 4
Add the egg and continue beating.
STEP 5
Add the flour and baking powder. Mix until well blended.
STEP 6
Pour mixture into a cake tin and set aside.
STEP 7
We're now making the cheese cake.
STEP 8
Beat the cream cheese, egg, vanilla essence and sugar together until well mixed.
STEP 9
Pour mixture into the same cake tin.
STEP 10
With a palette knife, make swirls in the batter. One swirl around the cake tin is sufficient: too many and you'll lose the marble effect and end up with a chocolate cheese cake.
STEP 11
Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until inserted skewer comes out clean.
