Delightful Marble Effect Cake

About the Recipe

This pineapple cake with a marble effect is delectable and appealing too. This is the ideal go-to recipe for a birthday or anniversary. To give the cake a marbled appearance, white chocolate compound, flour, and a few drops of food coloring are added to make the ganache. The cake is baked in an Oddy Ecobake-lined baking pan because it is chlorine-free and bleach-free and hence safe to use.

Chilled whipping cream-1 cup & Sugar syrup: Sugar + water
All-purpose flour-1 tbsp & Sugar-4 tbsp
Milk powder-2 tbsp & Water-3/4 cup

Butter-1 tbsp & Vanilla essence- ½ tsp

Oddy Ecobake

Directions

Mix together vanilla cake premix, oil, and pineapple essence along with water gradually to make a smooth batter. Line a 6-inch baking pan with Oddy Ecobake. Transfer the batter to it, spread it out, and tap it well.
Bake the cake for 40 minutes at 160 degrees Celsius in a preheated oven. Unmould after cooling completely. The cake sponge is ready.
Beat whipping cream in a bowl until fluffy. Divide the cake into three layers. Apply cream to the cake board and place a layer of cake; soak with sugar syrup; spread cream and pineapple crush on it uniformly on each layer.
Repeat the process for other layers, too. Frost the cake with cream, and then coat it with cream uniformly. Smooth using a spatula. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Mix together all-purpose flour, sugar, milk powder, and water in a pan and then heat until they melt and come to a boil. Then add oil, butter, and vanilla essence to it and mix well until it comes to a ganache consistency.
Strain it through a strainer when warm, then add food colours and pour it on the cake taken out of the fridge to create a marble effect. Then give the ganache a mix and pour it on the cake.
Decorate with whipped cream as shown on the bottom of the cake. Place golden balls on the top as shown. Place a "Happy Birthday" tag. The marble-effect birthday cake is ready to be cut.
