Marble cake, thickly covered with really good chocolate.

I bake it for every single birthday at our house and it seems to never get old.

German Marble Cake

300 g soft unsalted butter
275 g sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp rum extract
1 pinch salt
5 eggs
375 g flour
4 tsp baking powder

about 3 Tbsp milk

For the dark dough:

20 g cocoa powder
20 g sugar

about 2 1/2 Tbsp milk

Preheat the oven to 355 Fahrenheit, butter a bundt form.

Mix butter and sugar, salt, vanilla and rum extract, add eggs one by one (a minute each), sift the flour and add in two batches, alternating with the milk.

Spoon about two thirds of the dough into a buttered bundt cake form and add the cocoa, additional sugar and milk to the rest of the dough. Add the chocolate dough to the cake form and bake for 50 minutes.

Let the cake cool on a cooling rack, cover with melted chocolate and enjoy.
