This month Dom from Belleau Kitchen is celebrating 2 years as a blogger and has great plans for world domination :) To celebrate, the random recipe challenge is to bake something which of course I won't say no to being the self confessed baking addict that I am! So I put all my baking books in a pile as instructed and counted them. I then used a random number generator and came up with 12 which was.....
I've only baked a few recipes from this book since I bought it so I was really pleased for a chance to bake something else. I opened it up to a random page which was 146... marbled chocolate crumble cake. Hurrah! In the past (most notably macarons) I have picked fairly challenging recipes for random recipes so I was grinning like a cheshire cat when I saw this. A simple recipe which looked great! Coincidentally, I had a last minute invitation to dinner so I brought this cake as dessert. The verdict - delicious! It's a vanilla and chocolate sponge with a twist. I really liked the hidden chunks of chocolate and the crumble topping. It would be great served with cream or ice cream but just as good on its own.
Make crumble topping - butter, sugar, flour, cocoa powder 
add the batter in blobs..
.. swirl it gently to create a marble effect 
How pretty is that? I was worried my pan was too large but the cake expanded nicely. 
Add the crumble topping at the end and bake for a further 10 minutes 
can you see that little bit of melted chocolate? 
yum! 
PS apologies for the photos in this post - will fix it for next time!
