Marble Chocolate Cake
Eggless Marble Chocolate Cake is a crumbly, soft and moist cake. The cake is a great accompaniment to coffee. It can even be served with a dollop of ice cream.
Servings: 1 medium bundt cake
Ingredients
- 1¼ cups all purpose flour
- ½ cup whole wheat flour
- 3 tbsp milk powder
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- ¾ cup sugar powdered
- ¾ cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder unsweetened
- 2 tbsp hot water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 170 °C. Grease a 6 cup Bundt pan or a regular 7 inch round/square pan. I used a mini bundt pan & one 2 cup bundt pan.
- Sift together all dry ingredients – flour, milk powder, baking powder and baking soda, keep aside. Pour hot water on cocoa powder and mix well to form a paste, allow it to cool.
- Cream the butter 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. I added another 2 tablespoons of milk as I felt the batter was quite thick.
- 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 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. My mini was done in 20 mins & 4 Cups bundt was done in 40 minutes. Cool in the pan for 3-4 hours, then de-mould. Pour melted chocolate over it before serving.
Notes
The cake came apart after de-moulding, which I believe is due to too baking powder so I am going to try it out next time after reducing the quantity.
