A soft homemade cake with a marbled pattern made by swirling vanilla and chocolate batters together. Its simple flavor and moist texture make it a beloved classic for tea time.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Make the batter

8 min

Beat the eggs and sugar until foamy. Mix in the milk and cooking oil, then sift in the flour, baking powder, and vanilla to make a smooth batter.

2

Divide the batter into 2 portions

4 min

Transfer about one-third of the batter to a separate bowl, add the cocoa powder, and mix. If the batter becomes too thick, add one tablespoon (15 ml) of milk.

3

Layer and swirl the batter

3 min

Pour the vanilla batter into a greased pan, then add the chocolate batter on top. Insert a fork and make gentle wavy motions to create a marble pattern. Caution: Do not overmix.

4

Bake the cake

40 min

Bake in an oven preheated to 175°C / 345°F for about forty minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool, then slice.

Reminder

Gently swirl the chocolate and vanilla batters with a fork in the pan to create the marble pattern; too much mixing will erase it. Contains wheat gluten, eggs, and milk. Let the cake cool completely before slicing; it stays fresh in a covered container for three days.
