About the bake
This strawberry marble bundt cake is perfect for afternoon tea. The pretty pink swirled marble effect looks so scrumptious when sliced. Baked in a bundt tin, this cake has a lovely ring shape to it. Just a little top tip- make sure you allow it to cool for 10 minutes before trying to turn it out… we learned the hard way so you don’t have to!

Method
Step 1:
Pre heat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan, gas mark 4). Grease a 1kg ring mould with butter.
Step 2:
Place the butter and sugar in a mixing bowl and beat with a wooden spoon or electric mixer until light and fluffy.
Step 3:
Add the vanilla extract and mix briefly to blend with the other ingredients.
Step 4:
Gradually beat in the eggs a little at a time until smooth, adding a little flour if the mixture curdles.
Step 5:
Stir in the rest of the flour and baking powder until smooth.
Step 6:
Divide the mixture in half and add the pink food colouring to one bowl.
Step 7:
Place spoonfuls of both mixtures into the ring mould to give a marbled effect.
Step 8:
Bake in a preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown and just firm to the touch. Allow to cool completely.
Step 9:
Make up the icing as directed on the packet until it forms a thick pouring consistency. Add the food colouring and strawberry flavouring and mix until incorporated.
Step 10:
Drizzle the icing over the cake and decorate with sprinkles to add the perfect finishing touch.
Step 11:
This cake will keep for 2-3 days in an air tight cake tin or can be frozen.
