    Eggless Marble Cake Recipe with step by step pictures. This is the half vanilla half chocolate cake made with yogurt which is a classic dessert. This moist and tender marble loaf cake also looks stunning.

    Eggless Marble Cake

    I had this cake in my mind for quite a long time. Couple weeks back i decided to give it a try. Since it is eggless, then there is no fuss in the recipe. It calls for simple ingredients which you have in your fridge and pantry already.

    About Marble Cake Recipe

    The cool thing about this cake is you will be amazed each time. Because each time you will get new patterns in the cake. That is quite a exciting one. I specially loved the pattern which i got this time. It is quite good to look at. But do i need to say about the taste, it was amazing.

    I loved the combo taste of chocolate just rippling through the vanilla flavour. The smell was so rich and yummy. You don't have to feel guilty in eating a slice or two. Because there is no butter in this. Just some plain oil is there. And all the moistness comes from the yogurt and water which we use. I hope you will try this out and let me know what you think.

    Ingredients for Eggless Marble Cake Recipe

    • All Purpose Flour / Maida - 1 1 /2 cup / 180 grams
    • Cocoa Powder - 3 tbsp
    • Baking Powder - 1 tsp
    • Baking Soda - ½ tsp
    • Hot water - ½ cup / 125 ml
    • Sugar - 1 cup / 200 grams
    • Oil - ½ cup / 125 ml
    • Yogurt - ½ cup / 125 ml
    • Vanilla Essence- 1 tsp

    How to Make Eggless Marble Loaf Cake

    1. Preheat oven to 170 degree C / 340 Degree F.
    2. Start by sifting flour, baking powder, baking soda. Set this aside.
    3. Beat oil, sugar and vanilla til creamy.
    4. Add in water and mix well. Add in flour mixture and mix till combined.
    5. Add in yogurt and mix well.
    6. Divide the batter into two equal portions. Add cocoa powder to one batter and mix well.
    7. Butter a loaf pan generously and dust it with flour. Tap off the excess flour. Now the loaf pan is done.
    8. Spoon the vanilla and cocoa batter alternatively into the pan.
    9. Use a tooth pick and make swirls in the pan. Don't get over excited and do too much. Just stop at a point.
    10. If you work too much then you will not get the marbling effect.
    11. Bake the cake in a preheated oven for 45 to 50 min.
    12. Insert a toothpick to see whether the cake is cooked.
    13. Remove from the oven and cool it down.
    14. Invert, slice and serve.

      Hi aarthi, just found out ur space and wandering thru ur recipe collection..it's absolutely wonderful girl.what a lot of hardwork..well done and keep it up.I've already bookmarked many.
      And yes, u can make a soft and moist cake with 1 cup of milk and 1 tbsp of white / apple cider vinegar or lemon juice.works just perfect.and I've used only 1/4 cup of oil. Divya

      Hi Aarthi could you please tell me why the chocolate half of the mixture was thick but the vanilla half was very runny, I made the cake and it was lovely, just wondered why the vanilla half of mixture was so runny did I do something wrong.
