Ingredients:
- 3 eggs
- 1 glass of sugar (approximately 200 grams)
- 1 glass of milk (approximately 240 ml)
- 1 glass of neutral oil (such as vegetable oil, approximately 240 ml)
- 2 glasses of flour (approximately 280 grams per glass)
- 1 packet of baking powder (approximately 8 to 10 grams)
- 1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (356 degrees Fahrenheit) and prepare a round cake mold by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder. Set aside.
- Cream Eggs and Sugar: In another bowl, vigorously whisk the eggs and sugar until the mixture triples in volume and becomes light and fluffy.
- Add Liquids: Gradually mix in the oil and milk to the egg mixture, ensuring each addition is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- Combine with Dry Ingredients: Slowly add the sifted dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently to keep the air in the batter.
- Prepare the Marble Effect: Pour 80% of the batter into the prepared cake mold. Mix the remaining batter with the cocoa powder, then pour this over the top of the plain batter. Use a knife or a skewer to gently swirl the cocoa batter into the plain batter, creating a marble effect.
- Bake: Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 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, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!
