Time 1h30m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

125 g margarine
125 g unsweetened applesauce
1 teaspoon vanilla
120 g sugar
3 eggs
335 g whole wheat flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
180 ml buttermilk
150 g frozen raspberries (thawed) or 150 g fresh raspberries
2 drops red food coloring
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 tablespoon milk

Steps:

  • Beat margarine, sugar, and vanilla until frothy. Add eggs one at a time.
  • With a wooden spoon, incorporate flour and baking powder alternating with the buttermilk.
  • Mash raspberries through a sieve, collecting the juices. Throw away seeds.
  • Divide dough in three different bowls. Mix in food colouring to one of the bowls. Mix cocoa with milk and add to another bowl. You should now have a bowl of each plain, pink, and brown dough.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Using a tablespoon alternate colours, dropping them by the spoonful on the bottom of a spring-form pan. Pour raspberry coulis into the joints where the colours meet. With a fine stick or knife "stir" minimally to give a marbled effect.
  • Bake 1 hour. Wait 5 minutes before turning over on a wire rack to cool.
