Ingredients
- Flour 300 gm
- Eggs 4
- Caster Sugar 250 gm
- Oil 250 ml
- Milk 250 ml
- Vanilla essence ¼ tsp
- Baking powder 1 tbsp
- Cocoa powder 3 tbsp
Method
- Grease and line a 9 inch baking pan. Pre-heat the oven to 180C.In a bowl, beat sugar & eggs. Add milk, oil & vanilla essence to the whisked mixture; continue beating till well blended. Then gradually fold in the flour; a little at a time, divide the mixture into two equal portions. Keep one portion plain & add cocoa powder to the other & mix well. Using a ladle, first scoop the plain batter & gently pour in the middle of the baking pan. Immediately scoop & pour the cocoa batter on top of the plain batter. Do not stop & wait until the previous batter spreads. Keep pouring & alternating each batter continuously. Do not attempt to spread the batter or tilt the pan to distribute the mixture. It will automatically spread itself on its own & fill the pan gradually. Continue layering & alternating the batter till you finish both. Slowly transfer the baking pan in the oven without disturbing the layers of the batter. Bake for about 30-40 minutes or until a skewer inserted in center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack and then serve sprinkled with icing sugar.
