🍰 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.
