Marble Cake

Hello Ppl!

This is the latest 'jugado' experiment by me after trying several plain chocolate and vanilla cake recipes and the result is the perfect delight for dieters.

The cake is moist, soft and best of all low in sugar!

The other convenient thing abt it is its 'presentability' factor, it doesnt need frosting which helps save all those Xtra Cals ;)

This is something you wont be disappointed you tried :)

Ingredients:

Sugar 1/2 Glass (3/4th glass if you like sweet cakes)

Flour 1 glass

Baking soda 1 1/2 tsp

Oil 1/2 glass

Milk 1/2 glass

Eggs 4 eggs

vanilla essence 1 tsp

Cocoa Powder 1 1/2 tbsp

Method:

1. Beat eggs and sugar in a bowl and then whisk milk and vanilla essence into it

2. In a separate bowl mix the baking soda and flour.

3. Mix the flour and the beaten mixture together

the next step is a bit tricky so pay attention

4. In a greased baking dish pour 3/4th of the mixture

5. In the remaining 1/4th mixture whisk in the cocoa powder

6. pour the cocoa mixture into the center and with a spoon make spirals or freestyle design into the baking dish.

7. Bake at 180 degree celcius pre-heated oven for 30-35 mins

Enjoy!
