🍰 5-Minute Prep Marble Cake (Simple & Delicious)

🥄 Ingredients

  • 3 eggs 🥚
  • 150 g sugar (¾ cup)
  • A pinch of salt
  • A little vanilla (vanilla extract or powder)
  • 100 ml oil (⅓ cup + 1 tbsp)
  • 150 ml milk (⅔ cup)
  • 250 g flour (about 2 cups)
  • 15 g baking powder (1 tbsp)

For the chocolate part:

  • 20 g dark cocoa powder (¼ cup)
  • 45 ml milk (3 tbsp)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Prepare the batter
    • In a bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, salt, and vanilla until light and slightly fluffy.
    • Add oil and milk, mix well.
  2. Add dry ingredients
    • Sift flour and baking powder.
    • Add them in two parts, mixing gently each time.
  3. Make marble effect
    • Take 1/3 of the batter into another bowl.
    • Mix cocoa powder and 3 tbsp milk into this portion.
  4. Prepare the pan
    • Use a 24 cm baking dish.
    • Grease with butter and dust lightly with flour.
  5. Layer the batter
    • Pour plain batter first, then chocolate batter.
    • Swirl lightly with a stick or knife for a marble look.
  6. Bake
    • Bake at 170°C for 35–40 minutes.
    • Check with a toothpick—if it comes out clean, it’s done.

✨ Tips

  • Don’t overmix after adding flour → keeps cake soft.
  • You can replace oil with melted butter for richer flavor.
  • Add chocolate chips or nuts if you want extra texture.
