Old Vienna Marbled Gugelhupf Recipes

OLD VIENNA MARBLED GUGELHUPF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Butter and flour a 10-cup fluted cake pan.
• In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the egg yolks with the sugar, lemon zest and rum until pale yellow and creamy.
• Sift flour with baking powder and slowly stir into the egg yolk mixture alternately with the cream.
• In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Gently fold into the batter. Spoon half of the batter into another bowl.
• In a small bowl, mix the cocoa powder with the water to form a paste and gently stir into half of the batter.
• Spoon about two-thirds of the plain batter into the prepared pan. Add all of the chocolate batter and then the remaining plain. Do not worry about mixing them; a pattern will form during the baking process.
• Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour. Invert onto a cake plate and let stand for several hours. Dust with confectioners' sugar when cool. Serve each slice with a dollop of softly whipped cream.
