Eggless Marble Cake Recipe with step by step pictures. This is the half vanilla half chocolate cake made with yogurt which is a classic dessert. This moist and tender marble loaf cake also looks stunning.
Eggless Marble Cake
I had this cake in my mind for quite a long time. Couple weeks back i decided to give it a try. Since it is eggless, then there is no fuss in the recipe. It calls for simple ingredients which you have in your fridge and pantry already.

About Marble Cake Recipe
The cool thing about this cake is you will be amazed each time. Because each time you will get new patterns in the cake. That is quite a exciting one. I specially loved the pattern which i got this time. It is quite good to look at. But do i need to say about the taste, it was amazing.
I loved the combo taste of chocolate just rippling through the vanilla flavour. The smell was so rich and yummy. You don't have to feel guilty in eating a slice or two. Because there is no butter in this. Just some plain oil is there. And all the moistness comes from the yogurt and water which we use. I hope you will try this out and let me know what you think.

Hi Aarthi could you please tell me why the chocolate half of the mixture was thick but the vanilla half was very runny, I made the cake and it was lovely, just wondered why the vanilla half of mixture was so runny did I do something wrong.
