    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.

    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 dont 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.

    Preparation Time : 10 mins
    Baking Time : 40 to 50 mins
    Makes : 20 cm loaf cake, Serves 5 to 6
    Recipe Source : Divine Taste
     
    Ingredients:

    All Purpose Flour / Maida  - 1 1 /2 cup / 180 grams
    Cocoa Powder - 3 tblspn
    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

     
    Method:

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

    Invert, slice and serve.

      Aarthi, your eggless marble loaf look very tempting. The texture look very moist, great to go with tea or coffee. :))

      @AnonymousI think you can use milk and a tsp of vinegar or lemon juice. I have not tried it so far, i think it may work. If you ever try this, let me know through comments..So it will help others too

      Made his cake. Awesome recipe. I was skeptic how it would turn out since I have never baked an eggless and butterless cake before. But it was soft and moist and tasted yum. Thank you for the recipe

      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.
