cream in a bowl together with the butter, salt and icing sugar. Stir in
the eggs a little at a time. Mix together the flour, cornflour and baking
powder, sieve over the butter mixture and knead to a smooth dough.
Finally, stir in the cream. Divide the mixture into two equal parts. Stir
the melted chocolate into one half of the mixture.
Place the cake mould on a baking tray and grease it with baking spray*
(or butter). Put half of the lightcoloured mixture into the mould fol
lowed by all of the chocolate mixture. Cover with the remaining light
coloured mixture and swirl the mixture with a fork to marble it.
Preheat the oven* to 160 °C (fan oven; middle shelf) and bake for
approx. 75 – 90 minutes.
After baking, allow the cake to cool in the mould for about 10 minutes.
Then carefully remove from the mould and allow to cool well on a cake
rack. If necessary, straighten the lower edge a little. Before serving,
dust with icing sugar. Tastes best when fresh!
