Ingredients

• 1 cup butter
• 3 cups flour
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 1 cup sweet milk
• 4 eggs
• 1 teaspoon baking powder

Method

1. 1

   Beat the butter and sugar to a cream; add the yolks of the eggs, then the sifted flour and baking powder alternately with the milk.

2. 2

   Fold in the whites; take one third of the batter out and add to it the chocolate melted and thinned with a little hot water.

3. 3

   Into the baking pan pour the yellow mixture to the depth of one inch; drop into this in two or three places a spoonful of the dark mixture, giving it a slight stir with the tip of a spoon and spreading it in broken circles around the dark mixture.

4. 4

   Pour in more yellow batter, then more brown, proceeding in the same way until all the batter is used.

5. 5

   Bake in a moderate oven.
