Chocolate Vanilla Swirl Cake

Chocolate Vanilla Swirl Cake is a delicious tea cake. A small portion of chocolate batter is poured on top of vanilla batter and given a swirl pattern using a fork or toothpick.

Before this cake became by trademark hit with almost everyone, the marble cake from here was the most demanded. The only problem I had with making it in a jiffy were the number of ingredients it used including unsalted butter which I rarely keep at home. Also, it used to break apart many a times during de-moulding, so I had decided to reduce the baking powder and test if it fares better.

After a long time I made this cake and reduced the baking powder by half teaspoon and substituted oil for butter. I was waiting with bated breath to know the result, coz playing with proportions of basic ingredients in a cake was a first for me.

And my fears were unfounded and the cake came out in all it’s glory. Here it is!! Soft, moist and utterly delicious cake.

• Now add chocolate paste to the batter with a spoon & gently swirl with another spoon to make marble effect. Do Not use the same spoon for marbling & also Do Not mix uniformly. Both vanilla & chocolate mixture should show separately as marble effect.
