tiger cake and rain

It finally rained here so I decided to bake this classic Swedish "tigerkaka". And I've also been listening to Final Fantasy a lot. 

50 g butter or margarine

1.25 dl milk

2 eggs

2 dl sugar

3 dl flour

1.5 tsp baking powder

2 tsp vanilla sugar or some vanilla extract

2 tbl sp cacao

bread crumbs

Turn on the oven to 175 C. Butter and bread a cake form. Melt the fat and add the milk. It's ok if it's a bit warm. 

Beat the eggs and sugar. Add the milk and melted butter and the vanilla sugar. Mix in flour and baking powder. Pour 2/3 of the batter to the cake form. Add the cacao to the remaining batter as well as 1 tbl sp water. Drizzle the new chocolate batter into the first one. 

Bake in the lower part of the oven for 35-40 mins. Let the cake cool off some before you take it out of its form.

Here are two videos to the same Final Fantasy song. They're both so nice (and they both have cities in them!). Especially with raindrops on your window and some nice tiger cake.
