Marble cake

Ingredients

• 300 g of butter
• 275 grams of sugar
• 5 eggs
• 1 packet of vanilla sugar
• 375 g of flour
• 2 to 3 tablespoons of milk
• Half a packet of baking powder
• 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder
• 50 g of dark chocolate
• a pinch of salt

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla sugar, eggs, and mix vigorously until the sugar is completely dissolved.

Mix the flour and baking powder together and gently incorporate them into the dough. The dough should have a consistency that allows it to fall off a spoon, but without being too liquid. If necessary, add milk gradually, until the desired consistency is achieved.

Grease a cake pan. Then, pour about half of the batter into the pan.

In a separate bowl, mix the cocoa powder with the chocolate and a little milk to create a dark paste. Incorporate this paste into the remaining dough, mixing gently.

Next, divide the brown mixture into small portions and spread it evenly over the plain dough. Then, using a fork, create spiral indentations in the dough to create the marbled pattern.

Bake the cake in a preheated oven at 180 °C for 55 to 70 minutes. Let it cool slightly before removing it from the oven.
