A thin slice of rich marble cake is a fitting end to this first-night dinner. Wrap any leftover cake well and serve it with tea and coffee throughout the weekend.

  Using two bowls, place half of the butter, caster sugar, flour, baking powder   and eggs into each bowl.    Beat with an electric whisk until smooth and creamy.

   Grease and line two 8 inch cake tins.Drop tablespoonfuls of each cake mixture into the prepared tin, alternating between the white & chocolate mixtures.
