Ingredients:
- 7 eggs
- 300 g sugar
- 380 g flour
- 1 vanilla sugar
- 1 baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 2 dl milk
- 1,5 dl oil
- 3 tablespoons of cocoa
- 3 tablespoons of rum
Instructions:
- Use any kind of cake or other baking tin, butter it and lightly sprinkle it with flour.
- Take 80 g of flour and mix it with milk, so there are no lumps in the batter. Use the rest of 300 g of flour and mix it with the baking powder.
- Mix the cocoa with rum into a smooth paste.
- Separate the eggs into yolks and whites. Mix the yolks, half of the sugar, and the vanilla sugar for at least 5 minutes. While mixing, add the milk-flour mixture by the spoonfuls. At the end, slowly add the oil.
- Use the whites and the rest of the sugar, mixing it until firm peaks are formed. Use a spatula and add a third of the egg white mixture to mix it into the yolk mixture, folding it with figure-eight motions. Lay the rest of the egg white mixture onto the yolk mixture, and pour the rest of the flour in. Mix it all gently with a spatula.
- After mixing it all, take a third of the batter and add the cocoa mixture, mixing it all again.
- Set your oven to 160 C (320 F). Take your cake tin and interchangeably, start adding the light and dark batter, so you get the marbling. To add an extra marbling effect, you can use a fork or some other food-safe pointed utensil to mix the batter together.
- Bake for approximately an hour. Use a toothpick to check whether the cake is baked. After it is done, take it out of the oven, and leave it in for another ten minutes to chill.
