Time 1h10m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 ⅛ cups unsalted butter, softened
1 ¼ cups white sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla sugar
4 large eggs, at room temperature
4 cups all-purpose flour
5 teaspoons baking powder
½ cup milk
2 tablespoons dark rum
1 medium lemon, zested
2 ½ tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a large Kugelhopf or Bundt® cake pan with butter.
  • Beat butter with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and creamy. Slowly add sugar and vanilla sugar while beating constantly. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat for 5 minutes until batter is light and fluffy.
  • Sift flour and baking powder together in a separate bowl. Gradually mix flour mixture into the cake batter, alternating with the milk. Add rum and lemon zest. Pour 2/3 of the batter into the prepared pan.
  • Stir cocoa powder into the remaining batter until fully incorporated. Pour chocolate batter over the vanilla batter in the pan. Gently move a knife up and down through the batter in circular movements to create a marbled effect.
  • Bake cake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes. Let cool slightly in the pan. Remove and place on a cooling rack to cool completely.
