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.
Sift together all dry ingredients – flours, milk powder, baking powder and baking soda, keep aside. In a separate bowl, pour hot water on cocoa powder and mix well to form a paste, allow it to cool.
Cream oil and sugar till light and fluffy. Add the flour mix and milk alternately, starting and ending with flour to get a smooth batter. Add vanilla essence to the batter. Mix again. Adjust milk to reach desired consistency if needed.
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.
Pour the batter in the prepared pan & bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow it to cool completely in the pan before de-moulding.
Notes
You may need to adjust milk if you find the batter too thick.
