This recipe is inspired by the famous zebra cakes, but with a personal touch that makes it truly special.

Ingredients:

For the batter:
- 4 eggs + 2 egg whites or 5 whole eggs
- 9 tablespoons of sugar
- 11 tablespoons of flour
- 1/2 packet of baking powder
- A pinch of salt
- 1 packet of vanilla sugar
- 2 teaspoons of rum essence

For the cocoa cream:
- 60 g of margarine
- 1 tablespoon of milk
- 1 tablespoon of sugar
- 1 heaping tablespoon of cocoa

For the glaze:
- 100 ml of liquid cream
- 1 tablespoon of cocoa

Preparation:

1. Start by preparing the batter. In a large bowl, beat the egg whites with a mixer until you get a firm foam. Gradually add the sugar, continuing to mix until the mixture becomes shiny and forms peaks. This step is essential for obtaining a fluffy cake.

2. In another bowl, beat the egg yolks with a pinch of salt, vanilla sugar, and rum essence. Once combined, gradually add them to the egg white foam, gently mixing with a spatula or wooden spoon to avoid losing air from the batter.

3. Sift the flour together with the baking powder and incorporate them into the egg mixture, mixing from top to bottom with gentle movements. This will ensure a light and airy texture.

4. Meanwhile, prepare the cocoa cream. In a small saucepan, combine the margarine, milk, sugar, and cocoa. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the cream thickens. Allow the cream to cool.

5. Divide the batter into two equal parts. Add the cocoa cream to one part and gently mix to create a marbled effect.

6. In a loaf pan or round mold, place a spoonful of the white batter, followed by a spoonful of the cocoa batter. Continue alternating layers, ending with the white batter. You can use a spatula to create a zebra pattern if desired.

7. Preheat the oven to 180°C and bake the cake for 40-45 minutes. It’s important to do the toothpick test: if it comes out clean, the cake is ready!

8. While the cake cools, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan, heat the liquid cream with the cocoa, stirring continuously until it becomes a smooth cream. It should not be too thick, but rather have a fluid consistency.

9. Once the cake has completely cooled, pour the cocoa glaze over the top, allowing it to drip down the sides for an elegant look.

Serving suggestion: Cut generous slices and serve the cake alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. This combination will add a touch of refinement to your dessert!

Possible variations: You can replace the cocoa cream with vanilla cream or add chopped nuts to the batter for a crunchy taste. You can also experiment with various essences, such as almond or orange, to give a personal touch.

Enjoy this fluffy and delicious cake, which is sure to impress everyone who tastes it!
