Julia's marble cake

Ingredients for 1 servings:

• 250 g butter or margarine, soft
• 200 g sugar
• 1 packet of vanilla sugar
• 1 pinch of salt
• 4 m.-sized eggs
• 300 g flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 3 tbsp cocoa powder
• Fat and flour for the mold
• 200 g cake icing of your choice

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 1 hour; Total time approx. 1 hour 30 minutes

Beat the butter in a bowl until smooth. Then gradually stir in the sugar, vanilla sugar, and salt. Add the eggs, one at a time, and beat in until a thick, golden-yellow mixture forms. Mix the flour and baking powder, add in portions, and stir in. Preheat the oven to 180°C (top/bottom heat 160°C) (fan oven 120°C). Divide the portion in half. Add the cocoa powder to one half. Tips: It also tastes delicious with 125g of nougat, but it takes about 5-10 minutes longer to bake. I like to add a little lemon flavor to the light half for a finishing touch. Grease the cake tin and dust with flour. Pour in the light-colored batter first, then add the dark-colored batter. Spiral a fork through the batter to create a marbled pattern. Bake the cake in the hot oven on the middle rack for about 50-60 minutes. Test with a skewer to see if it’s done. Once cooled slightly, remove from the pan and let cool. Melt the cake glaze according to the package instructions and spread it over the cake. Tip: The cake also tastes delicious just sifted with powdered sugar.
