100g self-raising flour, sifted
15g cocoa mixed with 3 tbsp milk

Cream the butter and castor sugar until light and creamy. Whisk the eggs together and add a little at a time to the creamed mixture beating well after each addition. Stir in the golden syrup and ground almonds. Fold in the self-raising flour. Pile the mixture into the prepared cake tin. Spoon the cocoa mixture on top of the cake mixture and using a butter knife swirl in the cocoa mixture to create a marble effect. Level the cake surface and scatter the chocolate chips on top.
