This easy marble cake recipe creates a fluffy, moist, and beautiful chocolate and vanilla swirl cake. It’s a simple, classic, and perfect family dessert.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 3 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tsp vanilla essence
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan or round 9-inch cake pan and lightly dust with flour.
- In a large bowl, whisk together oil, eggs, sugar, milk, and vanilla essence until smooth.
- Add flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix gently until combined—don’t overmix.
- Pour about 1 cup of the batter into a small bowl. Stir in 2 tbsp cocoa powder with about 2 tbsp of milk (not listed in your original ingredients but needed for consistency) and mix until smooth.
- Pour half of the plain batter into the baking pan. Add spoonfuls of chocolate batter over it, then top with the remaining plain batter. Use a knife or skewer to lightly swirl through the batter for that marbled look (don’t overmix or it’ll blend too much).
- Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean
- Let it cool for 10 minutes, then remove from the pan and cool completely.
