Strawberry Vanila Cake

seems ages since i last baked. for the past few days i've been 'craving' for homemade marble cake. despite busy with marking, i stole half an hour to mix something up. cocoa powder is finished, the little missy wanted a pink cake, so i decided to bake vanilla cake with a bit of strawberry essence & pink marble effect.

ingredients

175g soft butter/margarine
175g self raising flour
175g caster sugar
3 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking powder
i added a bit of strawberry essence
pink colouring

heat oven 180 deg C. grease 18cm round cake tin. put all ingredients in large mixing bowl, beat for 1 minute. divide into 2 parts - 1 vanilla & 1 part to add a bit of pink colouring. pour into cake tin, one layer at a time, then do the marble effect; bake for 45-50 minutes.
