Marble Loaf (Eggless)

Ingredients

Condensed milk  - 400 gms
All purpose flour -2 cups
Unsalted butter - 125 gms
Sugar - 2 tbsp
Baking powder – 1 ½  tsp
Baking soda - 1  ½  tsp
Vanilla essence - 2 tsp
Milk - 1 cup
Cocoa powder - 1 tbsp + ¼  tsp

Method

Sieve maida, baking powder and baking soda together. Keep it aside.

Grease baking tray and dust flour and  Preheat the oven.

In a large bowl, mix condensed milk, butter, sugar, vanilla essence and beat well. Add milk and beat for a few more minutes. Gently fold in flour gradually and mix well until it gets well incorporated. You can use a whisk or you  can even beat it for 2-3 minutes using an electric beater in slow speed

Now take 1/3  of the batter in another bowl and add cocoa powder to it and mix well.

Now we have the vanilla (white) batter and the cocoa (chocolate) batter.

How to create marble effect

First fill the tray with a layer of vanilla (white) batter. Then top it with a layer of chocolate batter followed by vanilla batter. Fill the tray alternatively ending it in vanilla batter.

Then take a fork  and insert it deep in the tin and create a swirl- (ie) drag an 8 with the knife touching  all the 4 corners and in the middle.

Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Remember each oven has their own temprature so have an eye and bake it perfectly.

Simple and yet another lovely cake right.
