• Seperate about 450 g of the previous mixed dough in a second bowl
• Add the milk and cocoa powder and mix until well combined

• Grease the loaf pan with butter on bottom and all sides
• Fill the loaf pan by alternating between the normal and cocoa dough
• One layer of the normal dough, one layer of the cocoa dough, again one layer of the normal dough and so on

• Preheat oven to 170°C (338°F) with the upper and lower heat function

• After 20 minutes cut in the cake from left to right in the center (about 3 cm deep)
• After baking take your finished extra moist marble cake out immediately, but keep it in the loaf pan
• Tip: Check if the cake is ready by sticking a skewer in the middle until you reach the bottom and pull it out again. If it comes out clean, the cake is done. If not, bake for 5 more minutes and check again.

• Let the marble cake cool in the loaf pan for about 30 minutes
• Afterwards transfer it to a cooling rack to cool the rest

Taste:

This is a really juicy cake with a nice hint of chocolate in it. It is not too sweet like some of the cakes with a lot of whipped cream. Just add a cup of coffee or tea to it and enjoy your cosy Sunday afternoon.
