🍳 Preparation Steps
  1. 1

    In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until you get a creamy and whitish mixture. Incorporate the eggs one by one, making sure to mix well after each addition. Pour in the milk and vanilla extract then mix until homogeneous.

  2. 2

    Sift together the flour and baking powder, then gradually incorporate them into the preparation, mixing gently to avoid lumps. Obtain a smooth and homogeneous dough.

  3. 3

    Separate the dough into two equal parts. In one of the parts, add the cocoa powder and mix vigorously until you get a perfectly smooth chocolate dough.

  4. 4

    Alternately pour spoons of vanilla dough and chocolate dough into a previously buttered and floured cake pan. Using a knife blade, trace spirals in the dough to create the characteristic marbled pattern.

  5. 5

    Bake at 170°C (convection heat) for 45 minutes. Check the cooking by inserting a knife blade into the center of the cake: it should come out dry. Let cool completely before unmolding.

  6. 6

    Melt the chocolate and butter in a double boiler or microwave in short bursts. Add the milk and mix until you get a smooth, shiny and perfectly fluid texture. Pour the glaze over the cooled cake and spread it gently with a spatula.

Tips & Tricks
  • To enhance the marbled effect, add a tablespoon of liquid cream to the chocolate part: it will become more flexible and darker.
  • Replace the cocoa powder with 50g of melted dark chocolate for a deeper flavor and even softer texture.
  • Place a small ramekin of water in the oven during baking. The generated steam will prevent the cake from drying out.
  • Let the cake cool for 10 minutes in the pan before unmolding it onto a rack.
