Marbled oatmeal cake with dark chocolate

Today has been a day of experimentation, encouraged by my daughter. We tried layering the cake... but it did not work so well. But the taste with the dark chocolate... was awesome :-) It has a mixture of oats and all-purpose flour. This is the first time I am using oats flour and the texture was fine. 

The magic ingredients are ... (my daughter is binge watching a netflix series called "just add magic" where they create magic recipes...I really don't know for what though.)

Oats flour - 1/2 cup

All-purpose flour - 1 cup

Cinnamon powder - 1/2 tsp

Baking soda - 1 tsp

Sugar (powdered) - 1/2 cup

Organic brown eggs - 2

Olive oil - 1/4 cup

Vanilla extract - 1 tsp

Dark chocolate - 120 g

Apple juice - 1/2 cup

I blitzed some rolled oats to get the oats flour. In the dry bowl, add all the flours, cinnamon powder and baking soda and combine. In the wet bowl, break eggs and fluff with a egg beater. Add sugar, vanilla extract and mix. Add oil and combine well. Add dry ingredients into wet bowl in batches, adding apple juice in between. Divide the batter between two bowls. Melt the chocolate by keeping it in a hot water bath. Add melted chocolate into one of the batter bowls and combine well. 

Grease a cake tin with oil. Add alternating layers of chocolate and cream coloured batter. Preheat oven to 180C. Bake for 40 mins. 

I took a tour of our garden and my daughter cycled during the baking time. We came across different varieties and colours of shoeflower. There was red, orange and yellow hibiscus. Hope you enjoy the vibrant colors as much as we did.
