Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1/2 lb butter, softened; 1/2 lb sugar; 3 large eggs; 1 lb cake flour; 2 teaspoons baking powder; 1/2 cup milk; 1 ounce cocoa; 3/4 ounce sugar; 2 tablespoons milk; 1 dash salt; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Servings: persons

1/2 lb butter, softened
1/2 lb sugar
3 large eggs
1 lb cake flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup milk
1 ounce cocoa
3/4 ounce sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1 dash salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a bundt cake pan.
2
Beat butter and sugar together, then add vanilla, eggs and salt.
3
Combine flour and baking powder and stir into butter-sugar-egg mixture, alternating with the milk. Only add enough milk for the batter to drop heavily and ripping apart from a spoon.
4
Fill 2/3 of the batter into the greased cake pan.
5
Mix the remaining batter with cocoa, sugar and 2 or 3 tablespoons milk, until batter again drops heavily and ripping apart from a spoon.
6
Pour cocoa batter on top of the light one and move a fork spiralling through the two layers, so that you get a marbled pattern.
7
Bake for about 75 minutes.
