- 12 tablespoons of flour
- 4 tablespoons of sour cream
- 2 tablespoons of oil
- 1 packet of baking powder
- 2 tablespoons of cocoa

For the topping:
- 3 apples
- 1 pear
- 50 g butter

For the cream:
- 1 packet of vanilla cream (like Creme Ole)
- 250 ml milk
- 100 ml liquid cream

For the glaze:
- 100 g chocolate
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 4 tablespoons milk

Instructions

1. Preparing the caramelized fruits:
- Peel the apples and pear, remove the cores, and slice them into thin rounds.
- In a greased baking dish, layer the apple and pear slices.
- Sprinkle 100 g of sugar and pieces of butter on top. Place the dish in a preheated oven at 180°C for 15-20 minutes, until the fruits become golden and caramelized.

2. Preparing the base:
- In a bowl, beat the eggs with sugar until the mixture becomes frothy and doubles in volume.
- Add the sour cream and oil, mixing well to combine the ingredients.
- Incorporate the flour mixed with baking powder, stirring with a spatula to avoid lumps.
- Take 1/3 of the dough and mix it with the 2 tablespoons of cocoa, creating a brown dough.

3. Marbling the cake:
- Pour the white dough over the caramelized fruits, ensuring an even cover.
- Using a spoon, take pieces of the cocoa dough and distribute them on top, then use a fork to marble the cake (creating a swirl effect).
- Place the dish in the oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and passes the toothpick test (the toothpick should come out clean).

4. Preparing the cream:
- In a bowl, mix the vanilla cream with milk and liquid cream until you achieve a firm cream.

5. The glaze:
- Melt the chocolate with the milk and oil in the microwave, stirring occasionally until smooth and glossy.

6. Assembling the cake:
- Once the cake has cooled, spread the vanilla cream evenly over its surface.
- Pour the chocolate glaze over the cream and refrigerate the cake for at least an hour before serving.

Serving Suggestions and Variations

The marble cake with apples and pears is delicious served plain, but you can also add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for extra flavor. You can experiment with other fruits, such as peaches or apricots, to adapt the recipe to the season. Additionally, for a healthier version, you can replace sugar with natural sweeteners or use whole wheat flour.
