Finnish Tiger Cake (Tiikerikakku)

Directions

1. Beat the melted butter and sugar (or just mix them well).

2. Add the eggs and mix.

3. In a separate bowl, mix the dry ingredients: Measure the flour and mix baking powder and vanilla sugar to it.

4. Add the dry ingredients and mix.

5. Add the milk and mix again.

6. Take ⅓ of the dough to a separate bowl.

7. Mix cream and cocoa powder and add them to the ⅓ of the dough. This will be the stripe in the middle of the cake.

8. Butter the cake tin and sprinkle it with breadcrumbs so that the cake does not stick to it.

9. Add half of the blond dough to the bottom of the tin.

10. Add the chocolate stripe dough.

11. Add the rest of the dough on top.

12. Bake in 340 °F for 50 minutes. If the top tries to get too brown too soon, add a piece of baking paper on top or lower the temperature. Test the cake is ready by sticking a toothpick to it, if the dough does not stick to it, it’s ready.

13. Let the cake cool down and enjoy!
