Gugelhupf Cake

This is one of my favourite treats and reminds me of my holidays in Zell am See and Innsbruck with my husband. Served both in cafés and Austrian homes, Gugelhupf cake is an absolute classic. There are also sweet raisin-filled yeast bread versions of this cake but the marbled one is equally as delicious.

• 170g unsalted butter
• 4 eggs, separated
• 330g  plain flour
• 170ml milk
• 330g icing sugar (plus a little extra to decorate)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract or vanilla sugar
• 3 tsp baking powder
• 3 tsp cocoa

• Preheat your oven to 170°C  and coat the bundt cake tin with plenty of melted butter.
  
• Whisk the butter with the egg yolk until foamy, add all the icing sugar, and stir until creamy. Add vanilla extract or sugar (sachets of vanilla sugar are very common in Austria and Germany but I've never seen them here)
  
• Beat the egg whites until stiff. Sift together the flour and baking powder. Mix half of the flour into the butter mixture and combine. Add the milk, combine, then add remainder of the flour. gently fold in the egg whites.
  
• Pour roughly half of this mixture into the cake tin. Add cocoa to the rest and mix. Pour the darker batter on top of the lighter one into the tin.
  
• Drag the handle of a wooden spoon or a fork through the batter and wave it around to achieve the marbled look.
  
• Bake for 50 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes on a cool rack, then take the cake out of the pan. Dust with icing sugar before serving.

  I've also made a recipe card for those who like to print and save these kinds of things 😊

D-Luxe burger was high up on my to-eat list before heading to Florida - I had heard some great things about it from Disney Vloggers. I opted for the barbecue burger - a signature blend beef patty topped with a fried onion ring, smoked gouda, bacon, barbecue sauce, grilled onion and lettuce. De-lish! As I was on holiday and living my best life I washed this down with a artisanal gelato shake  - I highly recommend the chocolate one.
