I have fond memories of visiting my Grandparents on Sundays. We did not live that close by, so it was always nice to see them occasionally. My Grandmother was a very talented cook and we were always spoiled! Somehow I still find it special to have a nice meal and a homemade cake or any dessert on Sundays. Of course that doesn’t happen every Sunday here, I also like to relax a bit;) The Swiss Marble Cake is just perfect. Easy, quick, simple and delicious! All time favorite!

125g butter, soft
3 eggs
125g sugar
1 pinch sea salt
1/2 tblsp vanilla sugar or vanilla extract
150ml milk

1 tblsp baking powder
3-4 tblsp chocolate powder
1-2 tblsp milk

Spoon half of the mixture into prepared pan. In remaining mixture, add chocolate powder and milk, mix well. Spoon over vanilla batter. With a fork make twirling motions through the batter for marble look.
