METHOD

1 Preheat oven to 180C/160C fan forced. Lightly grease a 20cm x 30cm slice pan. Line base and sides with baking paper.

2 Use electric beaters to beat the butter, condensed milk, sour cream, egg, flour, cocoa, bicarb and 1 tablespoon of Baileys on low speed in a large bowl until just combined. Increase speed and beat on medium for 1 minute or until pale and creamy.

3 Spoon into the prepared pan. Smooth the surface. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. (Press the top of the slice lightly with a flat, clean tea towel, if puffed, to flatten). Set aside in the pan for 5 minutes. Brush cake with the remaining Baileys. Set aside to cool completely.

4 Meanwhile, to make the icing, place the Caramilk chocolate and 50ml of the cream in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring, for 3-5 minutes or until melted and smooth. Set aside for 5 minutes to cool slightly. Stir in 2 teaspoons of the Baileys. Set aside to cool completely. Place the white chocolate and remaining cream in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring, for 3-5 minutes or until melted and smooth. Set aside for 5 minutes to cool slightly. Stir in remaining Baileys. Set aside to cool completely.

5 Alternate spoonfuls of the Caramilk icing and white chocolate icing over the top of the cake. Use a flat-bladed knife or skewer to swirl gently to create a marble effect. Place in the fridge for 2 hours or overnight until icing is set. Remove from the fridge and set aside to come to room temperature before serving.
