METHOD.
1. Grease a deep 22cm-round cake pan; line base and side with baking paper.
2. Heat butter, hot water and sugar in a large pan. Stir over a low heat until sugar is dissolved. Transfer mixture to a large bowl; cool to warm.

4. Pour white portion into prepared pan, then dark portion. Use a skewer to drag through mixtures to create a marbled effect.

Great recipe, cake was delicious. Made some changes, about 30g extra chocolate, used hot coffee instead of water and it took about an extra half hour to bake with the starting temperature of the oven at 375 deg.
