Ingredients
1-2 cups maida or all purpose flour
2-2 tsp baking powder
3-A pinch of salt
4-1 1/4 cup powdered sugar
5-100gm (just under 1/2 cup) butter
6-2 eggs
7-1 tsp vanilla extract
8-1 cup milk
9-2 tbsp cocoa powder
Method
1. Preheat oven to 180C/ 350F
2. Grease a cake tin of choice. Square or round.
3. Place the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, butter, eggs, vanilla essence and milk in a bowl. Beat slowly to moisten, then beat with an electric mixer (or vigorously by hand) at medium speed for about two minutes until smooth.
4. Reserve three-fourth cup batter and pour the remainder into the tin. Stir cocoa into the three-fourth cup reserved batter. You can add cocoa to more of the batter depending on which flavour you want dominating.
5. Drop by spoonfuls over top of white batter. Using a knife, swirl the cocoa batter into the white batter to give it a marble effect. Bake for thirty to forty minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool.
6-Marble cake is delicious without any frosting but a light dusting of icing sugar won't hurt.
