Vanilla and Chocolate "Babka"

The shape of this cake is particular and mostly baked at Easter. Some of the doughs involve yeast, but since that would take some time to prove, I decided to go for a normal batter. And since vanilla and chocolate flavours have been requested, this is what it turned out as :)

Ingredients for a tin of about 20 cm

250 g of butter

250 g of sugar

500 g of flour

15 g of baking powder

250 ml of milk

vanilla sugar or essence

cocoa powder

milk chocolate to cover the cake at the end

Whisk up the butter with the sugar until light and fluffy. Mix the flour and the baking powder and sift it in, alternating with the milk. Halve the dough and mix one half with the vanilla sugar (or flavouring) and the other half with the cocoa powder, about 3 tablespoons in each case. Grease your baking tin and layer the light and dark layers on top of each other, either one after the other or just dotting them randomly. Bake in the oven at 180° C for about 2 hours or until a toothpick comes out clean. Melt the milk chocolate in the water bath and pour over the cake once you have let it cool for a little. Finally, enjoy :)
