Marble Cake (Eggless)

A marble cake is a mixture of light and dark batter. I am making vanilla and chocolate cake. This is an eggless cake. Which I made for my daughter's 10th birthday.

Ingredients:

Maida ----------------------------- 1 1/2 cup
Curd ------------------------------ 1 cup
Sugar ----------------------------- 3/ cup
Baking soda --------------------- 1/2 tsp
Baking powder ------------------ 1 1/4 tsp
Cocoa Powder ------------------- 1/2 tbsp
Refined oil/ butter --------------- 1/2 cup
Vanilla essence ------------------ 1 tsp


First of all set your oven at 180 C to pre heat. And grease the baking container.

Take curd in a bowl and mix sugar in it, till it dissolves completly. Take powdered sugar as it will dissolve fast.

Measure baking powder and baking soda.

Add baking powder and baking soda in the curd.

Combine them. Bubbles will form. Leave the mixture for 3 mintues.

　

Measure Maida and sieve.

　

Add vanilla essence and vegetable oil or melted butter in the curd after it rests for 3 mintues.

Now add maida slowly in the curd and mix. There should be no lumps in the mixture.

Pour 1/2 mixture in the container.

Take 1/2 of the remaining mixture in the separate bowl.  Add 1/2 tbsp of cocoa powder in it and mix.

Now layer this brown (chocolate) mixture on the vanilla mixture in the container.

Then layer the remaining white (vanilla) mixture on it.

　
Bake for 35-40 minutes. Check either cake is fully baked or not by inserting a toothpick in the center. If it comes out clean that means cake is baked or if not then bake for some more minutes. Then repeat the test. When done, remove from oven and let it cool for atleast 20 minutes before removing the cake from the container.
