I made a stylish ombre pound cake with 3 colors ~
The dark cocoa powder and cocoa powder are used to make a chocolate layer of 2 colors, and the color contrast is so clear that the ombre feels just right ~

I bake the cake, cool it at room temperature, seal it well, store it in the refrigerator for a day, and cut it.
It’s a basic pound cake, but it’s unique because it has 3 layers, so it tastes like chocolate and vanilla.

Gently loosen the unsalted butter, add sugar, whip thoroughly, add egg yolk and vanilla extract and mix.
Add milk at room temperature and mix it with sifting flour and baking powder.
Whip the egg white, and when a large bubble comes up, divide the sugar into 3 times and whip it to make a meringue with soft horns.
Divide the dough into 3 pieces, add cocoa powder in one place and dark cocoa powder in the other, and mix to make two colors of chocolate dough.
Put the thick chocolate dough in the mold, flatten it, put the light chocolate dough on it, flatten it, pour the vanilla dough, flatten it, and bake it for 45-50 minutes in a 170-degree preheated oven.
