The traditional marble Gugelhupf, easily made and great with a cup of coffee/tea !
Ingredients:
300g sugar, 190g butter, 4 egg yolks, 330g flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 200 ml milk and 4 egg whites
Optional: powdered sugar + raisins
Instructions:
1. Cut your butter into small pieces
(it should be at room temperature) and add the sugar! It is best to use a wooden spoon to mix the two ingredients together to form an even mixture (this might take some time)
2. Add your 4 egg yolks
3. Now mix the baking powder into your flour and alternatively add the flour(-baking powder) and milk to your batter!
4. Beat the egg whites into snow, add the egg snow into your batter and stir you should now have an even batter:).
5. Pour 3/4 of your batter into your cake pan (always grease and flour the pan before adding the batter if you want the cake to unmold cleanly and easily)
6. Depending on how dark you want the chocolate batter part to be - take 3 to 5 tsp (feel free to use more) of cocoa powder and mix that up with some milk (I used 2 tbsp’s for 4 tsp of cocoa powder)
7. Add this cocoa mixture to the 1/4 batter which you have left and mix!
Then add the chocolate batter on top of the vanilla batter into the cake pan and use a skewer/fork to create the marble by mixing both batters with it! Don’t overdo it
8. Bake in preheated oven for 50-55 min. at 356F/180° - lower the temperature after 10 minutes to 302F/150°
Depending on your oven it could take longer, do the test (insert a thin skewer in the cake, it should come out clean or with a few dry crumbs).
9. Let the cake cool down in the cake pan, then flip it and it’s done !
I like to dust it with powdered sugar and add some raisins on top but that’s optional!
