Just for Foodies!!: Eggless Marble cake

Marble Cake!! Or can also be called as "Chocolate Lover's delight", is a combination of vanilla and chocolate cake batter, which are swriled together inorder to get a marble effect on it. It has no egg, no butter, but the texture is simply awesome. Being very moist, light and soft, it literally melts in mouth. If you are a fan of chocolates, apply some chocolate frosting, it will be just heavenly!!

Well!! Do you wonder what makes this cake so moist even without eggs and butter? The secret ingredient is Apple Cider Vinegar. Adding a tablespoon of it makes all the difference.

So, lets get started on the recipe

Ingredients

For Vanilla batter

All purpose Flour / Maida - 1+ 3/4 cup
Sugar - 1 cup
Baking soda - 1 tsp
Salt - 1/2 tsp
Hot water- 1 cup
Apple Cider Vinegar - 1 tblspn
Vanilla extract - 2 tsp
Oil - 1/4 cup

Hot water - 2 tblspn
Cocoa powder - 2 tblspn
Vanilla batter - 1/4 of prepared batter

Method

Preheat the oven @ 350 deg F or 176 deg C
Grease your cake pan or loaf pan well.

For Vanilla batter

Combine all purpose flour, sugar, baking soda and salt in a bowl and mix really well. Use a whisk to mix it properly.
In another bowl mix together hot water, vanilla extract, apple cider vinegar and oil.
Incorporate wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix well avoiding lumps as much as possible.
Your vanilla cake batter is now ready

For Chocolate batter

Take 1/4th of the prepared vanilla batter. Add cocoa powder and hot water and mix well.
Now both your batters are ready.

How to proceed

Pour 1/2 of the vanilla batter to your greased cake/loaf pan.
Now pour half of the chocolate batter. Make swirls using the fork
