Eggless Marble Cake-How to make Marble cake

December 16, 2011 by PadhuSankar 52 Comments

Marble cake was my favorite when I was young as my mother used to make marble cupcakes often and we used to love it very much. I wanted to post my mom’s recipe, but since she was away, I could not get her recipe. A Marble cake has both vanilla and chocolate batters, swirled to create a marble effect. It not only tastes great but also looks gorgeous. Today let us learn how to make eggless marble cake using condensed milk following this easy marble cake recipe-

How to prepare Eggless Marble cake
Recipe adapted from here

Marble CakeIngredients needed

Condensed milk (milkmaid) -400 gms
All purpose flour -2 cups
Unsalted butter – 125 gms
Sugar – 2 tbsp
Baking powder – 1 1/2 tsp
Baking soda – 1 1/2 tsp
Vanilla essence – 2 tsp
Milk – 250 ml (1 cup)
Cocoa powder – 1 tbsp + 1/4 tsp

Preparation

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

Grease baking tray and dust flour.

Preheat the oven at 180 degree C for 10 minutes.

Eggless marble cakeMethod

In a bowl, mix condensed milk, butter, sugar, vanilla essence and beat well .

Add milk and beat for a few more minutes.

Fold in flour gradually and mix well until it gets well incorporated.
You can even beat it for 2-3 minutes using an electric beater in slow speed

Now the basic batter is ready.

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 (brown) batter.

How to create marble effect

    Dear Anagha
    It varies depending on the type of oven you have.Most cakes are usually baked between 325-350 degrees Fahrenheit or about 180 degrees Celsius.Some may be baked at slightly lower or higher temperatures,depending on the texture desired.

    Hi Padhu,

    I tried this cake today, but baked it in the pressure cooker. I did not quite get the marble effect, as you have mentioned above, may get it only with practice. However, my concern was the top of the cake which came out a bit dry. The inner part is softer. Not sure what I have done wrong. 🙁

    Sush – You might have over baked the cake or might have used the the top coil. Kindly read Baking tips for beginners to have better idea.

      Devika – You can increase the sugar. I used Indian cocoa powder. If you use imported ones, you might need more sugar.

    Thanks and Cheers-Renu.

      Oil makes the cake moist and dense. I am not sure as I have not experimented it. Try using less oil than butter. Do not substitute the same amount.

      Hi Padhu,
      Tried this cake by substituting oil for butter-and yes,the cake did turn out a bit dense-the way we like it actually!.I used roughly about 1/4 cup canola oil and the cake turned out just perfect!.Thanks-Renu.
