Steps

1

First measure all your ingredients, align your baking tray with cupcake liners and preheat your oven to 175 degrees.
2

Sift the flour plus baking powder and set it aside
3

In a bowl,add margarine plus sugar and beat it until pale and fluffy
4

Add one egg at a time, and ensure each egg is well incorporated.
5

Add the flour bit by bit and milk gradually until it forms a batter.Now separate the cake batter into two.
6

In one of the batter,add cocoa powder and chocolate essence while in the other batter add the strawberry essence.
7

Here,you create a marble effect on the cupcake, I started by adding the strawberry batter in all cupcake liners then added the chocolate batter (do these until the batter is over.)
8

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until you insert a skewer and comes out clean. And you can decorate if you wish.
