Beat the soft margarine with the sugar and vanilla sugar until creamy. Beat in each egg individually for about 1 minute, then add the lemon zest and juice and a pinch of salt and mix well. Mix the baking powder and flour in a separate bowl. Sift half into the mixture and stir in. Add 2 tablespoons of milk. Then sift in the rest of the flour and baking powder mixture and finally add another 2 tablespoons of milk to form a creamy batter. Divide the batter between 3 small bowls and mix with a food coloring in each. Drop the batter in dollops onto a baking sheet lined with baking paper and swirl it through with a fork to create a nice pattern. Bake the cake at 180°C (top/bottom heat) for 20 minutes. When the cake is done, let it cool. Do the skewer test. If you like, you can decorate the cake with melted chocolate and colorful sprinkles.
