Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 355°F (180°C) conventional and line a baking sheet with parchment. A baking frame gives a more even, slightly taller cake.

2. 2

   Beat the room-temperature butter with the salt, vanilla paste and sugar using the whisk attachments until pale and creamy.

3. 3

   Stir in the eggs one at a time.

4. 4

   Sift in the flour and baking powder and mix with the 200 ml milk into a smooth batter.

5. 5

   Spread half of the batter on the baking sheet.

6. 6

   Stir the remaining batter with the cocoa and the 4 tbsp milk until lump-free and spread it evenly over the light batter.

7. 7

   Slowly drag a fork through the batter to create a marble pattern. Bake on the middle rack at 355°F (180°C) for about 25 minutes; near the end, check with a wooden skewer that the cake is done.

8. 8

   Let the cake cool completely.

9. 9

   Chop the chocolate and melt it with the glaze butter in a double boiler over low heat.

10. 10

    Spread the glaze over the cooled cake and let it set.
