This ring-shaped marble cake is very easy and quick to make. Not only does it taste delicious, but the marble effect makes it incredibly eye-catching to boot. The cake batter is infused with gingerbread spice to get you in the mood for the festive season. The rich, dark chocolate glaze is a delicious addition and whoever wants to up the festive stakes even further can decorate the cake with sugar-roasted almonds!

1 ½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp sodium bicarbonate
½ tsp salt
80 g cane sugar
3 tsp gingerbread spice
½ tsp vanilla paste
50 g margarine, melted, left to cool
1 dl maple syrup
80 g apple sauce
1 dl oat drink
Marble effect
1 ¼ dl oat drink
40 g cocoa powder
Sugar-roasted almonds & glaze
½ dl water
1 parcel vanilla sugar
½ tsp gingerbread spice
80 g sugar
100 g almonds
40 g dark chocolate (50% cocoa)
40 g margarine

How it's done

Light-coloured batter

In a bowl, mix the flour with the baking powder, sodium bicarbonate and salt. Add the sugar and all the other ingredients up to and including the oat milk, mix quickly to form a smooth batter. Transfer half of the batter to the prepared mould.

Marble effect

Thoroughly combine the oat milk and cocoa powder, mix into the second half of the batter, transfer to the mould. Using a fork, stir in a spiral motion and create a marble effect through both batter mixtures.

To bake

Approx. 50 mins. in the lower half of an oven preheated to 180°C. Insert a wooden skewer to check whether the cake is cooked through. Remove from the oven, allow to cool slightly, tip onto a cooling rack and leave to cool completely.

Sugar-roasted almonds & glaze

Bring the water, vanilla sugar, gingerbread spice and sugar to the boil in a cast iron or stainless steel pan. Add the almonds, reduce the liquid over a medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar is dry. Continue to stir until the sugar begins to melt again and forms a glossy coating over the almonds. Immediately spread the mixture onto a baking tray, leave to cool. To make the glaze, melt the chocolate and margarine in a bain-marie. Spread the glaze over the cake, top with the sugar-roasted almonds, leave to dry.
