Marble cake (eggless)

Marble cake is a cake with patches of light and dark batter. The light one is the usual vanilla batter used for plain cake, and the dark one is chocolate. In the traditional marble cake called Marmorkuchen, the different streaks are made of citron and almonds. 

This recipe is for eggless marble cake. I made it in a bundt pan

 

 

 

Dry ingredients :

 

Flour - 2 cups

Baking powder - 1 1/2 tsp

Milk powder - 1/4 cup

Nutmeg - 1/2 tsp

Wet ingredients :

 

Castor sugar - 1 cup

Fresh cream - 3/4 cup

Vanilla essence - 1 tsp

Milk - 3/4 cup

Cocoa powder - 1 Tbsp

 

 

 

Sieve flour, baking powder and milk powder into a glass bowl. Add in nutmeg too and mix well.

In another glass bowl, combine sugar and cream till fluffy. Then add the essence to this fluffy mixture. 

Spoon in little by little of the flour mix to the sugar cream mix. After 2 or 3 spoons, stir well with a wooden spoon so that the flour and sugar cream mix combines. When it stops mixing well, pour a part of the milk and then stir. Continue this process till all the flour is combined in the mix. 

Fold the batter by stirring in a clockwise direction and then cutting it in the middle. Do this till you get a smooth batter. 

Transfer half of this vanilla batter to a bowl. Add cocoa powder into it and mix to get the dark batter. 

Grease all the sides of a cake tin with butter. Put a little flour in it and spread it to all sides. This is done so that the baked cake will come out easily from the cake tin. 

Add the vanilla batter into the cake tin. Then the chocolate batter. Use a knife to cut across the batter so that swirls of dark and light batter can form when baked. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now, preheat the oven in convection mode at 180C. Bake for about 60 to 65 minutes.

Use a thin skewer to check if the cake is done. Mine rose well and was done in 62 mins. For a pink and white streaked cake, use 3 Tbsp of grated beetroot in lieu of cocoa.
