German Marble Cake

MARMORKUCHEN

250 g butter
250 g sugar
500 g flour
about 2 cups milk
3 to 4 eggs
15 to 20 g vanilla sugar
2 to 3 tsp baking-powder
2 tsp flask rum flavoring

Stir butter, sugar, and eggs until foamy. Sieve flour, and leave about 1 tblsp of it. Stir flour, milk and rum flavoring into the butter/sugar/egg mass.

When the dough is ready, mix the baking-powder with the rest of the flour and add to the dough.


5 tblsp dark cocoa
7 tblsp sugar
1 tblsp soluble coffee
2 tblsp strong rum
5 to 10 g vanilla sugar
1 tsp baking-powder
1 dash milk
10 tblsp white dough

Mix cocoa, coffee, sugar, rum and baking-powder with a little bit of milk. This stuff should be a little bit thicker than the white dough. If you accidentally poured a little bit too much milk in the cocoa mass, you can add a small amount of flour until you have the right consistency.

When the cocoa stuff is well blended, add ten good tablespoons of the white dough and blend well.

Oil baking pan, and dress with bread-crumbs. Then fill in with alternating white and dark dough and make some swirls with a knife, not too many or the dough will mix too much. Just stick your knife in there and swirl it around a few times.

Heat oven to 180 deg C (356 deg F) and bake one hour and five minutes.
