Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°c; lightly grease and line a loaf tin* (10x20cm / 4x8")
(*Or a giant muffin tin tray);
In a bowl, put the sugars and the melted butter;
Cream until light and fluffy;
Add egg one by one, beating after each addition; beat until smooth;
Sift the flour in; when well combined, pour the milk and the vanilla extract; combine;
In a bowl, spoon out a third of the dough;
Stir the cocoa powder in the ⅔ dough;
In the loaf tin, spoon in a layer of chocolate dough;
Complete with the Vanilla dough;
Fill in with the rest of both the doughs;
Follow the same process if you opted for the muffin variant;
Bake for 40-45 minutes, until a wooden skewer inserted (or a sharp knife) comes out clean from the cake;
Leave it to cool down for a few minutes; unmold and finish cool down on a wire rack;
Bain-marie the chocolate with the fresh cream. Do not overcook it, just gently melted is enough;
Combine the roasted chopped hazelnuts and pistachios in the melted chocolate;
Spread the melted chocolate on the marble cake;
Sprinkle with the roasted chopped hazelnuts and pistachios;
Chill it in the fridge;
Enjoy!
