Instructions

Preheat the oven at 350*F / 180*C. Take a regular size Cake Loaf Pan (7-8inches) and grease it lightly. You may also line it with a parchment paper for easy handling.

Mixing the Ingredients

1. Take a big bowl and sift 2 cups all purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt into it. Mix it well with a fork. Set aside.
2. Take another big bowl. Add Sugar + Oil + Yogurt in it. Take the electric Egg Beater and whisk all the ingredients for 2 minutes, till light and sugar is mixed well.
3. Add milk + flour mix to this sugar and yogurt mix.Mix all the ingredients gently till dry ingredients are incorporated well.
4. Meanwhile dissolve 4 tbsp of coco powder in 4 tbsp of hot water. Mix well till it becomes kind of sauce. Set aside.

Dividing the Batter 

1. Now divide this batter into 2 equal parts. In one part of the batter, add vanilla essence and 2 tbsp of all purpose flour (optional, check consistency of batter to decide). Mix it well till incorporated in the batter. This is your vanilla batter.
2. In other half of the batter, add the coco powder sauce. Mix well with a fork till well incorporated and the whole of this batter turns chocolate brown in color.

Pouring the Batter in Cake Loaf Pan

1. Add vanilla batter first at the bottom of the pan.
2. Then pour the chocolate batter on top.
3. Tapped the pan on the counter few rimes so that the batter settles down evenly with no gaps in between.
4. You may pour the vanilla and chocolate batters in the pan in alternate sequence or the sequence of your desire, may be chocolate first and vanilla later. However you want to do it.

Baking the Eggless Marble Cake

1. Place the cake loaf on the lower middle shelf of the oven.
2. Bake it for 35-45 minutes. The time will vary depending upon the type of your oven.
3. I would recommend you to check the cake for done-ness with wooden pick test, after 30 minutes.
4. Check every 5 minutes in the middle of the cake, after 30 minutes to see if the cake is baked
