German Marbled Cake (Marmorkuchen) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1/2 lb butter, softened
    1/2 lb sugar
    3 large eggs
    1 lb cake flour
    2 teaspoons baking powder
    1/2 cup milk
    1 ounce cocoa
    3/4 ounce sugar
    2 tablespoons milk
    1 dash salt
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a bundt cake pan.
    Beat butter and sugar together, then add vanilla, eggs and salt.
    Combine flour and baking powder and stir into butter-sugar-egg mixture, alternating with the milk. Only add enough milk for the batter to drop heavily and ripping apart from a spoon.
    Fill 2/3 of the batter into the greased cake pan.
    Mix the remaining batter with cocoa, sugar and 2 or 3 tablespoons milk, until batter again drops heavily and ripping apart from a spoon.
    Pour cocoa batter on top of the light one and move a fork spiralling through the two layers, so that you get a marbled pattern.
    Bake for about 75 minutes.
