Marble Cake

Ingredients

• 250g unsalted butter, softened
• 200g granulated sugar
• 1 Päckchen vanilla sugar
• 4 eggs (medium)
• 375g all-purpose flour
• 1 Päckchen baking powder
• 1 Prise salt
• 150ml milk
• 3 EL unsweetened cocoa powder
• 50g dark chocolate, chopped
• 2 EL powdered sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) conventional heat and thoroughly grease a bundt cake pan (approx. 22 cm diameter) with butter, then lightly dust it with flour.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and vanilla sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Incorporate the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until thoroughly combined and the mixture remains creamy.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter-egg mixture, alternating with the milk, mixing until just combined and a smooth batter forms.
5. Divide the batter into two equal portions. To one half, stir in the unsweetened cocoa powder and chopped dark chocolate to create the dark batter.
6. Spoon alternating dollops of light and dark batter into the prepared bundt pan. Then, gently swirl a fork through the batter to create the classic marble pattern.
7. Bake the cake in the preheated oven for approximately 50-60 minutes. Perform a skewer test: if it comes out clean, the cake is done. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Before serving, generously dust the cooled marble cake with powdered sugar.
