Decoration Tips:

Ingredients:
- 5 eggs
- 250g sugar
- 1 packet vanilla sugar
- 250ml vegetable oil
- 250ml eggnog
- 250g all-purpose flour
- 1/2 packet baking powder
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- Prepare the Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until fluffy and light in color.
- Gradually mix in the vanilla sugar, vegetable oil, and eggnog until well combined.
- Sift in the flour and baking powder, then mix until just incorporated, ensuring not to overmix.
- Create the Marble Effect:
- Divide the batter into two equal parts. Leave one part plain, and mix the cocoa powder into the other part to create the chocolate batter.
- Grease a bundt cake pan and pour in half of the plain batter. Top with the chocolate batter, then add the remaining plain batter. Use a knife or a skewer to gently swirl the batters together, creating a marbled effect.
- Bake the Cake:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F). Place the cake in the oven and bake for approximately 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
