Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Rubber spatula
  • 5 inch cake tin

Ingredients
  

  • 3 tbsp melted butter/oil
  • 2 tbsp yogurt
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 3 tbsp milk
  • 1/4 tsp vinegar
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp milk

Instructions
 

  • We start by preheating the oven to 180 ℃ and line a 5 inch tin with baking paper.
  • In a small mixing bowl add the wet ingredients and whisk. Add the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth.
  • Divide half the batter in another bowl, add the 1 tbsp cocoa powder and milk into the bowl. Whisk it until well combined and smooth.
  • Pour 1 tbsp of the vanilla batter into the prepared tin alternating with 1 tbsp of the chocolate batter. Repeat until all the batter is done. Using a tooth pick or knife, swirl the batter around a couple of times.
  • Bake the cake for 18-20 mins until golden and risen. You know the cake is ready when you poke a tooth pick into the center and it comes out clean. Cut and serve.

Notes

  • Do not over swirl the batter or else you will end up with one color in the cake and the marble effect will be lost.
