I'm a simple emigrant and I love to bake

Back then I was always baking something, but my circle doesn't eat many sweets, and I don't like finishing off half a cake by myself. And once we were asked to bring a dessert to a celebration, I was already starting to plan what I could make that would be tasty and could be transported to another city, but a local friend says: “Don’t worry, we’ll just buy powdered pudding and make it in five minutes.” I was in shock, and a second wave of shock hit me when at the celebration everyone happily enjoyed this pudding. So I started baking less often, but recently a colleague brought such a delicious traditional German marble cake to work that we all wanted to bake it. She shared the recipe with us, and I – with you. 🍌Ingredients: — Butter 250 g — Sugar 200 g — Salt a pinch — Eggs 4 — Flour 250 g — Baking powder 15 g — Milk 80 ml — Cocoa for baking 25 g — Butter for the pan and powdered sugar for decoration 🥳🥳Process: Preheat the oven to 180 °C (convection 160 °C). Beat the soft butter, sugar, vanillin and salt with a mixer until fluffy. Gradually add the eggs. Mix the flour with the baking powder and add to the batter, then gradually pour in 50 ml of milk in small portions. Divide the batter in half: set one half aside, and to the other add the cocoa and the remaining milk. Next grease a loaf pan or any you have with butter. Pour the light batter, spread it, then the dark one and spread again. Now swirl through the batter with a fork in a spiral, so it intermingles a little and a marble effect forms. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes. Let it cool for about 15 minutes and remove it from the pan. Dust with powdered sugar. Save the recipe so you don't forget it. Try it, you will surely succeed, and post photos of the cake in the comments. Bon appétit! #useful #food photo: kochschwabe
