Eggless Marble Cake

Haven't tried my hand on Baking much. I don't have a sweet tooth so was never interested in trying cakes and cookies. But my daughter's fascination towards cakes n cookies made me try a few recipes. This is my first eggless marble cake and to my surprise it came out really well, very soft and less sugar just how I would like it to be.

Ingredients

1 and 1/4 Cup All Purpose Flour ( Maida)

1/2 tsp Baking Soda

2 tsp Baking Powder

1/2 cup or 80gm Butter

3 Tbsp Sweetened Condensed Milk

1/2 Cup Powdered Sugar

1 Cup Milk ( room temperature)

2 Tbsp Cocoa Powder

1 tsp Vanilla Essence

2 Tbsp Warm Water

1/2 cup Walnut Kernels (optional)

Procedure

Preheat oven at 180 degree Celsius. Sieve the flour thoroughly along with baking soda and baking powder. Keep aside. In a jar put butter and powdered sugar and using a hand blender churn it till fluffy. Don't worry if it curdles. Add milk and mix well until it becomes slightly creamy. Now add vanilla essence and sweetened condensed mil and stir well so that it mixes properly.

Take about 1/4 th of the batter and add cocoa powder in it. Mix well to avoid any lumps. Add water and mix again. Keep aside.

Grease a baking tray with butter sprinkle some flour in it on all sides. Now add half of the off white batter. Put 3 tbsp of the cocoa batter as dots on top of the batter. Using a fork make swirls to give a marble effect. Now repeat the procedure with remaining batter.

Put it in the preheated oven for abut 40-45 minutes. Check using a toothpick if it's done. Take it out. Let it cook and cut in desired size.
