Instructions
Pre-heat oven to 180° C (upper and lower heat). Line the baking tin with baking paper. Finely grate the chocolate. Mix together the baking powder with the flour, and sieve both. By doing this, the baking powder will be evenly distributed in the dough, which makes the cake spongy and fluffy. Separate the eggs, beat the egg whites until stiff.
Beat the butter (should be at room temperature) and sugar until creamy. Add the egg yolks one at a time. Then, alternately add the milk and flour, stirring continuously until the dough is smooth. At the end, carefully add the beaten egg white with a hand whisk.
Divide the dough, and add the grated chocolate to one half. Now, alternately fill the dark and the light dough into the baking tin. Bake at 180°C for approx. 40-45 minutes. Don’t forget about the toothpick test. Leave to cool and enjoy!
