Marble Cake

                                              Eggless Marble Cake
                                                             

 Yes!!!!Its that time of the year to welcome... a New Year, to take new resolutions (and of course to break up them later on), to leave behind all sorrows and worries, to cherish and treasure all sweet moments 😊.  The crackling of sound of crackers can be heard a mile away. It’s really a visual treat to your eyes, and more importantly we can enjoy those fireworks from our balcony but the cold weather won’t allow us to enjoy that spectacular view to the fullest. Its that time of the year to look forward to new opportunities.  It’s the time of the year to have party and fun, and of course to bake something special for your loved ones. Here I have baked a very simple but yummy cake. A very moist marble cake that too eggless and butter less. You can easily bake with those ingredients that are in your kitchen. It’s eggless and I have used curd instead. I haven’t posted an eggless cake yet, this is the first one. Raise a toast and celebrate 2017 with this simple, yummy and super moist cake with a blend of chocolate and vanilla flavors. May 2017 bring a beautiful dawn to your life which is colorful and bright as you 😍.

Happy New Year Dear ones 💓….  Wishing you a year of immeasurable joy and blessings!!!

Okay then let’s get started.

Preparation time: 10-15 min

Cooking time:  25-30 min

Serves: 4-5

Ingredients:

All purpose flour/maida: 1 ¼ cup

Powdered sugar: 1 cup

Baking powder: 1 tsp

Baking soda: ½ tsp

Curd: ½ cup (room temperature)

Milk: as needed (room temperature)

Vanilla essence: 1 tsp

Cocoa powder: 2 tbsp

Water: 2 tbsp

Method

1.       Preheat oven to 356F/180C.

2.       Prepare a 7 inch loaf pan.

                                                            

3.       Beat curd well so that it is lumps well. Add oil ,mix it.

                                                               

4.       Add sugar and vanilla essence to it. Mix together well.

                                                                  

5.       Take cocoa powder in another bowl and add water and mix it well.

                                                                       

6.       Sieve flour, baking powder and baking soda in to another bowl. Mix everything together.

                                                                       

7.       Add flour to curd/oil mixture. If you feel batter is too thick add milk to get needed consistency.

                                                                       

8.       Pour half of the batter to prepared cake tin then add the cocoa paste in a zig- zag manner or you can make swirls in the batter with a knife. Swirl it for two- three times.

                                                                    

9.       Add remaining batter over the cocoa paste.

                                                                  

10.   You can make swirls again if you want on the top. I didn’t do swirls as I wanted a simple pattern.

11.   Bake it for 20-30 min or till the tooth pick comes out clean.

                                                              

12.   Unmold and cool completely.

                                                                 

13.   Slice it to a serving platter.

                                                                    

14.   Enjoy with a cup of tea/coffee.

                                                                  

Notes

1.       Add milk as required to get a smooth batter.

2.       If you are making swirls, don’t overdo it as you may not get the needed pattern.

3.       Use flavorless oil.

4.       Use thick, fresh, flavorless curd.

5.       You can replace curd with two eggs (room temperature)
