Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C/Fan160°C/Gas Mark 4 .

Step 2

Grease a 25.5cm (10”) ring mould or Bundt tin and dust with a little flour.

Step 3

Beat the butter, Tate & Lyle Caster Sugar, Lyle’s Golden Syrup, the eggs, vanilla extract, flour and baking powder until evenly mixed. Spoon half of the mixture into another bowl, adding the milk.

Step 4

Mix the coffee and cocoa powder until smooth then fold into the other bowl of the cake mixture.

Step 5

Place alternate spoonfuls of the cake mixtures into the prepared cake tin. With a knife, gently swirl together to give a marbled effect, then place in the oven and cook for 35-40 minutes or until firm to touch and when a skewer is inserted it comes out clean. Leave to cool in the tin slightly before turning out, then leave to cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 6

To make the icing, put the chocolate into a bowl with the Lyle’s Golden Syrup and cream set over a pan of simmering water, stir occasionally and when melted and smooth, remove from the heat. Allow to cool for 5 minutes. Whisk the icing with a balloon whisk until it begins to hold its shape. If it becomes too stiff add a tablespoon of hot water.

Step 7

Pour over the cake and leave to set.

TOP TIP

For extra décor, you could drizzle a little whit chocolate on top of the plain; or even do some chocolate work if you're really fancy…
