Ingredients:
- 4 eggs
- 3.5 glasses of flour (200 ml glass)
- 1 glass of milk
- 1 glass of yogurt
- 1.5 glasses of sugar
- 1 glass of oil
- 1.5 packets of baking powder
- 1 packet of vanilla sugar
For the chocolate batter:
- 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder
- 100 ml of milk
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (356 degrees Fahrenheit). Grease a 37x26 cm baking sheet.
- In a large bowl, mix together eggs, milk, oil, yogurt, sugar, and vanilla sugar until creamy. Gradually incorporate the flour and baking powder until well combined.
- Pour half of the batter onto the greased baking sheet, spreading it evenly.
- Mix the remaining batter with cocoa powder and additional milk. Pour this chocolate batter over the plain batter.
- Use a toothpick or a knife to gently swirl the chocolate batter into the plain batter, creating a marbled effect.
