Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and cocoa powder. Mix these dry ingredients well.
Step 2: Add Wet Ingredients
In the same bowl, add milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
Step 3: Create Marble Effect
Divide the batter into two bowls. Add more cocoa powder to one of the bowls and mix well to create a chocolate batter.
Step 4: Layer the Batter
Grease a baking dish. Pour one layer of the plain batter into the dish, followed by a layer of the chocolate batter. Repeat this process, alternating between the two batters.
Step 5: Swirl for Effect
Using a knife or a skewer, gently swirl through the batter to create a marble effect. Be careful not to mix too much.
Step 6: Prepare for Cooking
Cover the baking dish with a lid or aluminum foil. If you don’t have a lid, you can use a large pan as a dome.
Step 7: Set Up Steaming Method
In a large, deep pan, add water to create steam. Place a steaming rack inside the pan and ensure it is above the water level. Place the baking dish on the rack.
Step 8: Cook the Cake
Cover the large pan and bring the water to a gentle simmer. Allow the cake to steam for approximately 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Step 9: Cool the Cake
Once cooked, carefully remove the baking dish from the pan. Allow the cake to cool on a wire rack before slicing.
Step 10: Serve and Enjoy
Slice the cake and serve it as desired. Enjoy the delicious eggless marble cake!
Notes
Note 1
Ensure that the water used for steaming is kept at a simmer and not boiling to prevent the cake from becoming tough.
Note 2
You can customize the marble effect by adjusting the amount of cocoa powder in the chocolate batter.
Note 3
Store any leftover cake in an airtight container to keep it fresh for a few days.
