Serving Size 10 slices
Equipments
- 1 cake tin 9 inch round or 13*9 inch bread pan
- 3 Bowls
- 1 Spatula
Ingredients
- 2 cup whole wheat flour
- 225 gms unsalted butter at room temperature
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup sugar powdered or fine
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar lightly packed
- 4 eggs
- 1 tbsp vanilla essence
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 6 tbsp whole milk
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat an oven at 180°C for 20 mins. And grease a cake pan with butter or line with parchment/butter paper and keep aside.
- In a clean and dry bowl mix together the wheat flour, baking powder, salt and sieve it 2 to 3 times(or once if you feel lazy).
- In a separate bowl take butter and sugar and beat until smooth (to know when done beating: color should change to off white).
- Add the vanilla essence and eggs 1 at a time while whisking.
- Then add the flour mixture and milk in small batches and fold together(cut and fold method).
- Take a clean bowl and pour half of the vanilla batter into it.
- To make the chocolate batter : Sieve the cocoa powder to remove any lumps. Then gently mix it into one part of the batter.
- Take the greased cake pan and pour in half of the vanilla batter and spread it evenly. Then add the chocolate batter, followed by the remaining vanilla cake batter. Now swirl a knife or skewer through the batter to create small ‘S’ shapes, starting from one end of the pan till the other end. Do not over mix. This will create the beautiful marble swirls.
- Place the cake pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40 mins at 180°C.
- Bake till a toothpick inserted at the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Cool completely and serve or transfer the cake into an air tight container and consume within 2-3 days.
Notes
- Always use butter that is soft to touch and is at room temperature. Make sure not to over whip the butter as it can cause the butter to split.
- To store your marble cake, place it in an airtight container. It’s best to keep it at room temperature, where it will stay fresh for 2-3 days, as long as the environment isn’t too humid. You can also refrigerate the cake in an airtight container, where it will last for about 5-7 days.
