Preparation
- In a bowl, cream the soft butter with the 90 g of sugar, vanilla sugar, lemon zest, and rum until fluffy. Gradually add the egg yolks, one by one, and mix until you have a smooth, fluffy batter.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form. Gradually add the 80 g sugar and continue beating until you have a firm, shiny meringue.
- In a small bowl, mix the flour with the baking powder. Gradually add this mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the lukewarm milk and the meringue, folding gently with a wooden spoon to keep the batter light and airy.
- Grease a springform pan with butter and dust it with the 2 tablespoons of flour. Pour about half of the batter into the pan, spreading it evenly over the bottom.
- Add the cocoa powder to the remaining batter and mix well. Carefully pour the dark batter over the light batter in the pan. Use a fork to swirl through the batter in a spiral motion, mixing the two batters lightly to create the characteristic marble effect without blending them completely.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C with top and bottom heat, and bake the cake for about 60 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, let the cake cool in the pan for a few minutes before turning it out onto a cooling rack to cool completely. Before serving, dust with powdered sugar for an extra sweet touch.
