Posting this recipe for  Shhhhh cooking secretly challenge.

This month I have paired with Poornima Porchelvan for baking theme. Poornima is a wonderful blogger who blog at Poornima Cook book. Check out delicious recipes on her blog.

Poornima has gave me two of my favourite ingredients, lemon and chocolate. Thanks Poornima for these lovely ingredients.

I have made this marble cake with these two ingredients. Lemon and chocolate mixed flavour makes it superbly delicious.

Really happy with the texture, it is super soft.

I have made two completely different batter for this cake.

I have used refined flour in it but you can make with whole wheat flour or you can use half whole wheat flour and half refined flour.

Method 

Preheat the oven at 180° for 10 minutes.

Grease a cake tin and dust with flour. Remove the excess flour.
Lemon batter 

Sieve flour, baking powder and soda.

In a large bowl mix sugar and milk. Milk should be at room temperature.

When sugar dissolves add 3 tablespoon oil and beat well.

Add flour mixture gradually in it. Mix and make a smooth batter.

Now add lemon juice and lemon zest. Mix well.

Keep it aside.

Chocolate batter – 

Mix vinegar with milk. Keep aside. Milk should be at room temperature.

In a bowl sift together flour, baking powder, soda and cocoa powder.

In a large bowl whisk oil and sugar. I have used rice bran oil you can use olive oil or any flavourless oil.

Add vinegar mixed milk and whisk again.

Add vanilla essence and mix well.

Now add the dry ingredients gradually in it. Mix everything and make a smooth lump free batter.

Take 2 separate spoons for both the batter.

In greased and flour dusted cake tin pour a spoon full chocolate and lemon cake mixture alternately.

When all the both cake mixture used up, tap the bottom of the tin gently to remove the air bubbles. Fill the cake tin 3/4 because cake will rises well.

With a knife or skewer swirl the mixture in the tin few times to give the cake a marble effect.

Bake in preheated oven at 180° for 40 – 45 minutes or until the toothpick comes out clean.

Let the cake cool down completely.

Slice and serve the beautiful and delicious cake with your tea, coffee or a glass of milk.

Enjoy……
