Preparation time: 30 minutes
Baking time: 30 minutes
Total time: 60 minutes
Number of servings: 12

Ingredients:
- 5 eggs
- 8 tablespoons of sugar
- 6 tablespoons of oil
- 6 tablespoons of flour
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 2 tablespoons of cocoa
- 500 ml of milk
- 1 packet of vanilla pudding
- 2 tablespoons of sugar (for pudding)
- 1 packet of vanilla sugar

We start with preparing the pudding, as it will need a few moments to cool down. In a saucepan, bring 500 ml of milk to a boil. When the milk starts to boil, add the pudding powder and the two tablespoons of sugar, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Let the pudding boil for about 2-3 minutes, then remove it from the heat and let it cool.

Meanwhile, let’s focus on the batter. Start by separating the egg whites from the yolks. In a large bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until frothy, then gradually add the 2 tablespoons of sugar, continuing to mix until a firm meringue forms. This is the key to getting a fluffy and light cake!

In another bowl, mix the yolks well with the remaining sugar (6 tablespoons). Add the vanilla sugar, oil, flour, and baking powder, mixing everything until a homogeneous mixture forms. Now, carefully fold the beaten egg whites into the yolk mixture. Gently mix with a spatula to avoid losing the air in the egg whites.

To create the marble effect, take 4-5 tablespoons of our delicious batter and place it in a separate bowl. Add the 2 tablespoons of cocoa and mix well until homogeneous.

Prepare a baking tray (preferably one that is 25/35 cm to achieve a fluffier and taller cake) and grease it well with butter, then sprinkle a little flour to prevent sticking. Pour the white batter into the tray, leveling it out. Then, with a spoon, place portions of the cocoa batter on top of the white batter. Now comes the fun part: using a fork, create swirling lines to achieve the marble effect. Be creative - there is no wrong way here!

The last step is to add dollops of warm pudding over the batter. This will add a creamy and delicious texture that will transform the cake into a true treat.

Preheat the oven to 175 degrees Celsius (or 350 degrees Fahrenheit) and bake the cake for 30 minutes. Check if it’s done by inserting a toothpick in the middle; if it comes out clean, the cake is perfectly baked.

Once the cake has cooled, you can cut and serve it. It is delicious both warm and cold. It can be accompanied by a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, adding even more flavor.

Helpful tips:
- If the batter seems too soft, don’t hesitate to add an extra tablespoon of flour.
- You can experiment with different pudding flavors or add chopped nuts for extra texture.
- Make sure the cake cools completely before cutting it to get perfect slices.

Nutritional benefits:
This cake contains protein from the eggs, carbohydrates from the flour and sugar, and healthy fats from the oil. The vanilla pudding adds a boost of calcium, making this cake not just a delicious dessert but also a source of energy.

Frequently asked questions:
1. Can I use plant-based milk?
Sure, plant-based milk can be used instead of cow's milk, but make sure to choose a sugar-free variety to keep the sweetness balanced.

2. How can I keep the cake fresh?
You can store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days or in the fridge for a longer duration.
