This is the classical German marbled cake. Ingredients:
1/2 lb butter, softened |
1/2 lb sugar |
3 large eggs |
1 lb cake flour |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 cup milk |
1 ounce cocoa |
3/4 ounce sugar |
2 tablespoons milk |
1 dash salt |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a bundt cake pan.
2. Beat butter and sugar together, then add vanilla, eggs and salt.
3. Combine flour and baking powder and stir into butter-sugar-egg mixture, alternating with the milk. Only add enough milk for the batter to drop heavily and ripping apart from a spoon.
4. Fill 2/3 of the batter into the greased cake pan.
5. Mix the remaining batter with cocoa, sugar and 2 or 3 tablespoons milk, until batter again drops heavily and ripping apart from a spoon.
6. Pour cocoa batter on top of the light one and move a fork spiralling through the two layers, so that you get a marbled pattern.
7. Bake for about 75 minutes.
