Marvelous Marble Cake

I am not a big fan of chocolate cake but i do want it in my cakes in one way or the other.This is a simple cake which can please both chocolate and vanilla lovers like me.A bite of chocolate and a bite of vanilla goes into my mouth when i eat this cake and i am so happy about it.



Ingredients

- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar(you can make it to 3/4 cup if you dont like it very sweet)
- 3 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking powder
- pinch of salt
- 2 Tbsp cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter/vegetable oil

Recipe

- Preheat oven to 375F.
- Sift together flour,baking powder,salt so that they are well blended.
- In a bowl whisk together sugar,butter/oil,eggs and vanilla extract.
- Combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients.Divide the batter into two parts.
- Stir in the cocoa powder into the second half of the divided parts.
- Pour the first half of batter(without cocoa) into a greased baking pan.Now pour the second   half(Cocoa batter) of the batter into the same pan.Run a knife through  the batter,cutting the batters together to create a marble effect.
- Place the baking pan into the pre-heated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes ,until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool,Invert the cake into a stand or plate,slice and serve.
