- 200 g soft butter
- 200g sugar
- pinch of salt
- 4 Owner
- 300 g Flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 150 ml milk
- 25 g cocoa powder
- 30 g powdered sugar for sprinkling or 200 g cake icing of your choice
Mix butter, sugar and salt until fluffy. Add the eggs one after the other and stir in. Mix the flour and baking powder and add alternately with 100 ml milk. Fill 2/3 of the dough into the desired shape. Then stir cocoa powder, 1 tablespoon sugar and 50 ml milk into the remaining dough. Spread the dark dough over the light dough and marble the cake. The baking time is about 50 minutes at 180 °C top/bottom heat (fan oven 160 °C).
To ensure that the typical pattern is nice and large but not too uniform, place the dark dough on top of the light dough and then pull a wooden skewer through the dough in a spiral shape once or twice. The skewer should touch the bottom of the baking pan. If you want the marbling to be a little more even, you can use an ice cream scoop or a spoon to pour the dough into the mold side by side and on top of each other.
If you want to have a pretty zebra pattern, put a spoonful of the light dough into the mold and top with the dark mixture. The sequence repeats until all the mixture is used up.
