Simple Walnut Loaf

Ingredients: simple, total time: 50 min.

3 eggs/ separated room temperature
100 g granulated sugar
1 bag vanilla sugar/ 10 g
100 g melted butter/ divided
130 g flour
3-4 Tbsp Greek yogurt
8 g baking powder
2 Tbsp cocoa powder + 3 Tbsp hot water
70 g walnut chopped
50 g raisins/ bath in lukewarm water
Loaf pan 20 x10 cm

Preparation:

Immerse the raisins in lukewarm water.
Chop the walnuts into smaller pieces, ensuring they are not ground.
Melt the butter over low to moderate heat and set aside.
Separate the egg whites from the yolks.
Whisk the egg whites until foamy, then gradually incorporate the sugar and vanilla sugar, beating until stiff peaks form.
Subsequently, add the sifted flour combined with baking powder and fold in using a spatula.
Gradually incorporate the egg yolks, and finally add the yogurt, mixing thoroughly with a spatula until a uniform mixture is achieved.
Divide the batter into two equal portions in small, deep bowls.
Pour 50 g of melted butter into each bowl. Mix well with a spatula until the ingredients are fully combined.
Incorporate melted cocoa mixed with 3 tablespoons of hot water into one portion, stirring gently to create a marbled effect.
Add the chopped walnuts to the lighter, yellow mixture.
Introduce the strained raisins into the cocoa mixture.
Grease the baking dish with oil and line it with baking paper.
Alternately pour the yellow mixture and then the darker one into the dish until all the batter is used.
Gently tap the mold on the work surface to release any air bubbles.
Bake the cake in a preheated oven at 180 °C for approximately 30 minutes, or until golden brown.
Test the center of the cake with a toothpick to ensure it is cooked through.
Allow the cake to cool for 15 minutes.
Remove the cake from the mold, invert it, and peel off the baking paper.
Dust with powdered sugar, slice, and serve with coffee or white coffee.

Buon appetito!

NOTE:

For those who enjoy chocolate, consider coating it with a white or dark glaze prepared using a bain-marie method.
Instead of raisins, you may incorporate candied fruits, apricots, currants, or cranberries.
As an alternative to walnuts, roasted and finely chopped hazelnuts can be used.
If the cake becomes dry after a few days, refresh it by slicing and pouring a small amount of coffee or milk over it before serving.
Store the cake in a covered container in a dry place for 3–4 days.
