- STEP 6Transfer half the mixture into the cake tin and add the cocoa powder to the other half. Mix in and then spoon the chocolate half into the tin. Swirl your spoon on the top of the mixture to create a more marbled effect.

- STEP 8Leave to cool slightly and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- STEP 9It is nice if served with chocolate icing or custard. For Easter, if you used a ring tin you can add mini eggs into the central hole to serve to make the kids even more excited.
