But as gorgeous as it turned out, I have a confession to make. I made a pretty stupid mistake while baking. It did not affect the result in the end, but I have to make you aware of it!
I had chocolate chips leftover, which I wanted to incorporate into this cake. When the dough was ready, I didn't pay attention to the consistency of the dough and just mixed in the chocolate chips. They simply sank to the bottom of the mixing bowl.
Now it was too late. 😲
The dough has such a fluid consistency that it is absolutely not suitable for adding chocolate chips. They are too heavy, and the dough can't hold them. Since there was nothing I could do about it, I continued as usual.
At the end of the baking time, the chocolate chips had sunk and stuck to the bottom of the cake.
But fortunately, that wasn't a problem for the cake itself. It gave it a unique pattern. You don't need it for this beautiful cake! Just so you don't waste your chocolate, it's best to leave it out altogether.

🔪 Instructions
This wonderful cake is one of the few ones where you mix all the ingredients quickly and easily together and then bake it in the oven. Very simple, very fast.
So let's get right to it!
Preheat your oven to 160 °C // 320 °F top/bottom heat.
Prepare a mixing bowl in advance and mix the two types of flour an baking powder together. You will need it later and have it at hand.
In the next step, grab a mixing bowl or the mixing bowl of your kitchen machine.
Sift the powdered sugar into it through a close-meshed sieve. Then add the vanilla sugar and the eggs and beat them until creamy.
Continue by adding the oil and the eggnog. Then add the flour-baking-powder-mixture you prepared at the beginning.
Remember, the dough will not set! It has a liquid consistency!
Before you pour the dough into the springform pan, grease it with butter or baking spray so that nothing sticks. Now pour your dough into the pre-greased baking pan!
Now all you have to do is bake the
Towards the end of the baking time, test whether the cake is well done with a wooden stick. If no dough sticks, it is ready!
Take the cake out of the oven and let it cool on a cooling rack. Then turn it out of the baking pan and dust with powdered sugar.
The cake does not need any special extras for serving. The powdered sugar is enough. But if you don't want to miss it, you can add a spoonful of whipped cream to the serving plate.
Now it is ready to be devoured! Enjoy it!

Potato Starch Vs Potato Flour: What Is The Difference?
What Is Potato Starch?
Potato is a great source of essential nutrients like carbohydrates. Like most other carb-filled food items, this one also holds a significant amount of starch. All this starch comes from its tuberous roots whose cells contain lots of leucoplasts. By extracting this component from the potatoes, we get potato starch.
