Eggless marble cake

For the detailed information as well as the tips and tricks, please check this Eggless Vanilla Cake recipe.

Note: Instead of cocoa powder, you can use food colour. Make sure that colour is concentrated, so that the marble effect can be seen easily.

Servings: 8

Preparation time: 30 mins

Baking time: 30 mins

Total time: 60 mins

Ingredients:

• 1 & 3/4 cup refined flour (220 gm)
• 1 cup granulated sugar (200 gm)
• 2 tbsp corn flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 cup milk
• 2 tsp vanilla essence
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 1 tbsp vinegar or lemon juice
• 2 tbsp cocoa powder

Procedure:

1. Preheat oven to 180℃

2. Grease your cake mould. Brush little oil or butter to the inside of the mould. Sprinkle some refined flour and spread it evenly by shaking and rotating the mould. Make sure the the sides are also coated well with the flour. Invert the pan and remove excess flour. Keep the greased cake tin aside.

3. Grind sugar into fine powder

4. In a large bowl, add flour, corn flour, powdered sugar, baking soda and salt. (When adding soda and salt, don't just dump them into the flour. Instead sprinkle evenly so that they will be mixed evenly.) With a spoon or a whisk, mix the dry ingredients well.

5. Sift the dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl.

6. Add milk, vanilla essence, oil and vinegar/lemon juice. Mix just to incorporate everything well. Do not overmix.

7. Divide the batter into 2 equal portions. In one portion, add cocoa powder (or food colour). Mix it well. If you think that the batter is very thick, add little (approx 1 tbsp) milk and mix. Now you will have 2 batters, white and brown (or coloured).

8. Take 2 large spoons, one for each batter. Add dollops of white and brown (or coloured) batter alternatively in the center of the cake pan.

9. Insert a clean knife or a skewer in the batter and swirl it in a zigzag movement  to create marble effect.

10. Bake in preheated oven for 30 min.
