Today my blog is 9 years and 476 recipes old!What else should I share today other than cake,my blogging journey had started with a cake recipe,one of my favourite…Orange cake.

So today let’s bake a marble cake to mark this milestone…

A marble cake is a cake with a streaked appearance (like marble) achieved by very lightly blending light and dark batter.It is a mixture of vanilla and chocolate cake, mostly it is vanilla cake with streaks of chocolate.

130 gm Sugar.

100 gm Flour(maida).

50 gm Cocoa Powder.

2 Eggs.

1tsp Baking Powder.

1tsp Vanilla Essence.

Sieve together flour and baking powder thrice.

Cream butter and sugar with electric blender till it becomes light and fluffy.

Add egg one at a time,continue beating.

Add essence,mix well.

Start Preheating oven.

Fold in flour.Batter should be of dropping consistency.(when droped from spoon,should fall down smoothly).

Add little milk if required.

Divide in 2 parts.Add coco powder in one part,mix well.

Add batter to tin,one on top of other,swirl a knife through the batter for marble effect.

Bake at 180degreeC for 30 to 35 minutes.

Insert a small knife in center to check if baked properly(knife should come out clean).
