Ingredients
- 180g butter, softened, plus extra, melted, for greasing
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 180g plain flour
- 75g ground almonds
- 225g caster sugar
- ¾ tsp almond extract
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tbsp milk
- 3 tbsp cocoa powder mixed with 3 tbsp hot water to make a paste
For the chocolate glaze:
- 2 tbsp butter
- 50g dark or milk chocolate, roughly chopped
- 100g icing sugar, sifted
Method
1. Heat the oven to 180°C/Fan 160°C/Gas Mark 4. Generously brush a 1½l bundt or ring tin with melted butter.
2. Mix the baking powder, flour and ground almonds together in a large bowl. Using an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar together in a separate bowl until light and fluffy. Stir in the almond extract.
3. Add the eggs to the butter mixture, one at a time, beating well between each addition. Add a spoonful of the flour mixture in between if curdling. Fold in the remaining flour mixture and stir in the milk.
4. Spoon half of the cake mixture into a separate bowl and mix in the cocoa paste. Add spoonfuls of each of the batters, alternately, to the tin and drag the handle of a teaspoon through the mixture to create a marbled effect.
5. Bake for 40 - 50 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the deepest part comes out clean. Leave the cake to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a cooling rack and leave to cool completely.
6. Meanwhile, for the glaze, melt the butter and chocolate together in a small pan over a low heat until smooth. Remove from the heat and add the icing sugar and 2 tbsp boiling water. Whisk well until smooth. Pour over the cooled cake and leave to set. Serve.
