Marble Cake/Zebra Cake - Eggless

Marble cake is a most popular tea cake which is a combination of two different flavours in a single cake with a random geometric pattern. Arranging the cake batter in the mould to bring up the pattern is a little time taking process, but while slicing the cake the random geometric pattern will give an excitement. This is also called Zebra cake. Use two contrast colour flavour to make the pattern visibility proper.

Make two batters of equal quantity or according to your taste increase one flavour and reduce another flavour. Also both the batter should be little thick, not much water, else they will mix together while arranging. Here I used wheat flour, also this is an eggless recipe.
