Crafting the Vanilla and Chocolate Cake

Mastering the Batter

Creating the perfect batter is key to our Vanilla and Chocolate Cake. Follow these steps for a flawless result:

1. Whipping Up Sweetness
   • In your mixer’s bowl, combine eggs and sugar, beating until creamy and fluffy.
2. Flavor Infusion
   • Add a pinch of salt, vanillins, and room-temperature butter. Continue beating for approximately 5 minutes.
3. Creamy Consistency
   • Gradually introduce the milk into the mixture, ensuring a smooth blend.
4. Flour Power
   • In a separate bowl, mix the self-raising flour and baking powder, then gradually add it to the mixture while beating. This will form the base of your cake.

Marbling the Cake

Now comes the exciting part – creating the marbled effect in your cake:

1. Grease and Flour

2. Layering Perfection
   • Pour a portion of the cake mixture into the pan.
3. The Cocoa Twist

4. Complete the Layers
   • Pour the remaining cake mixture into the pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Baking and Serving

With your cake all set, it’s time to bake it to perfection:

1. Oven-Ready
   • Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F) and bake the cake for 60 minutes until it’s beautifully golden and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center.
2. The Finishing Touch
