Ingredients:
All Purpose Flour ( Maida ) - 1 1/4 cup
Milk Powder - 4 tbsp
Sugar ( Powdered ) - 1 cup
Salt - 1 pinch
Baking Powder - 1 1/2 tsp
Baking soda - 1 tsp
Vanilla essence - 1 tsp
Milk - 1 cup
Cocoa powder - 1 1/2 tbsp
Butter ( at room temperature ) - 1/2 cup
Hot Water - 2 tbsp
Method:
- Sieve All purpose flour along with salt twice or thrice and keep it aside.
- In a bowl, take butter, baking powder, baking soda and vanilla essence. Mix till it becomes smooth.
- Add milk , sugar and All Purpose flour. Make the batter to a thick pouring consistency.
- Take cocoa powder in a separate bowl. Add hot water and mix it without any lumps. Add quarter of the cake batter to this cocoa mixture and mix well.
- Preheat the oven to 180 degree Celsius.
- Pour half of the cake batter in a greased pan. Then pour half of the cocoa batter above the cake batter. Slightly make marble like patterns using a fork. Don't over do.
- Again pour the remaining cake batter and cocoa batter as earlier and make marble patterns again.
- Bake the cake in 170 deg C for 40 - 45 min or until the tooth pick comes out clean when inserted at the center.
- Cool the cake completely and invert it. Cut slices and enjoy the marble cake.
My slices were little big, so i cut it down further in to half.
Notes:
- You can also add orange zest for further taste.
- You can also pour vanilla batter 3 times and cocoa batter 3 times to make a 3 layered swirls. Its purely your creativity.
- The taste will be like vanilla cake. So, kids love this cake alot.
- I did this in the bread loaf, but if you want you can do this in cake pan itself.
