Sharing with you all the recipe of a soft and moist cake with layers of chocolate and vanilla swirled together. This is a simple recipe of cake which can be easily prepared but adding two tablespoon of cocoa powder additionally to the basic vanilla cake batter.

The presence of both the vanilla and chocolate flavour makes this cake amazing. I had used 2 tablespoon of starbucks hot cocoa for the chocolate portion of cake and I couldn’t express how tasty was the cake. You can also use normal cocoa powder instead.

The specialty of this cake is that we are using the same base cake batter to prepare both vanilla and chocolate flavour and then they are layered alternatively. After both batters are prepared, alternate spoonful of vanilla and chocolate layers are distributed evenly on the cake tin.

Bake the cake for 25 to 30 minutes in a preheated oven. Insert a toothpick in the centre of cake and make sure that it comes out with few moist crumbs. Now let us move to the recipe part.

Ingredients

All purpose flour – 1.5 cups
Baking powder – 1 teaspoon
Baking soda – 1/4 teaspoon
Powdered sugar – 3/4 cup
Cocoa powder – 2 tablespoon
Eggs – 2
Sunflower oil – 1/2 cup
Milk – 1/4 cup
Vanilla essence – 1 teaspoon

Method of preparation

Beat 2 eggs in a mixing bowl with the help of an egg beater or a whisk
Whisk the eggs until it turns fluffy and changes it colour to off white
Add oil to the beaten eggs
Now add powdered sugar, followed by one teaspoon of vanilla essence
Sieve together all purpose flour, baking powder and baking soda

The batter consistency is thicker now
Inorder to make the batter to a pouring consistency, add 1/4 cup of milk to it
Take another bowl and add 2 tablespoon cocoa powder into it
Add sufficient water to this cocoa powder to make it into a paste form
Add half of the prepared cake batter to this cocoa powder mix
Thus we have 2 batters, vanilla batter and chocolate batter in two separate bowls
Place butter paper on the cake tin and then add the 2 tablespoon of vanilla batter followed by 2 tablespoon of chocolate batter
Similarly add these batters one by one till the batter gets over
After arranging the 2 batters, you can draw your own designs on the top of this cake batter using a toothpick or spatula
Preheat the oven at 180°C for 10 minutes and thereafter bake the cake for 30 minutes
If you are using a kadai or pot, preheat the kadai for 10 minutes, place the cake tin inside and close the lid
After 25 minutes, insert a toothpick and check whether the cake is baked completely
Remove the cake from cake tin once it is cooled completely
You can cut this cake into desired shapes and serve.
