Ingredients
All Purpose flour- 2 cups
Baking powder- 1 and 1/2 tsp
Baking Soda- 1/2 tsp
Salt -1/4 tsp
Sugar – 3/4 cup
Oil – 5 tbsp(i used Extra light Olive oil)
Vanilla essence-1 tsp
Chocolate chips- 1/4 cup ( melt them in microwave for 30 minutes at a time and repeat this till completely melted string them every 30 minutes interval)
Mango Pulp-1 cup ( i used fresh mango pulp)
Milk- 1/4 cup
Buttermilk 1/4 cup
How to make Buttermilk for cakes ?
Ingredients
Milk (just under one cup)
1 Tablespoon white vinegar or lemon juice
Method :
- Place a Tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice in a liquid measuring cup.
- Add enough milk to bring the liquid up to the one-cup line.
- Let stand for five minute. Then, use as much as your recipe calls for.
Method ( For preparing cake)
- Preheat oven to 350 degree Fahrenheit and Grease & line the pan with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine sugar & oil then to this add mango pulp, milk, yogurt, vanilla, buttermilk and mix well.
- In another small bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder & salt mix and now add this flour mixture to the mango-milk mixture and mix until everything combine well.
- Now take a small cup, add Melted chocolate and mix well.
- Then transfer half of the mango batter to another bowl and add this cocoa paste and combine well.
- Now both your mango batter & chocolate batter are ready.
- Then to the lined loaf pan or a round cake pan , add mango n chocolate batter alternatively like a checker board pattern or simply fill with vanilla/mango batter then add remaining chocolate batter in 3 small circles, make swirls using a skewer as u like.
- Tap the pan gently to set the batter evenly and bake it for 50-55 minutes or until done(check by inserting a knife or toothpick which should come out clean). Voila our yummy mango chocolate marble cake is ready π
Notes
- I used fresh mango pulp for this recipe but store bought sweetened mango pulp but reduce the sugar to 1/2 cup .
- This cake won’t rise too much so u can fill up to 3/4 of the pan, as i wanted to show the checker board marble pattern in detail added only half batter,
- But u can make it smiple marble pattern by adding mango butter first then pour the chocolate batter and make swirls as u like..
- U can also add chopped nuts to this.
- Instead of melting the chocolate an adding to the chocolate mixture you can use Cocoa Powder 1/4 cup ( mix with 2 tbsp warm water) and mix them for chocolate batter.
- I used melted milk chocolate chips you can use dark chocolate chip even.
- I also made a muffin out the extra batter left
Thanks for the lovely challenge sangee π i enjoyed making this marble cake and they really tasted yummy π Thanks to HBC for this lovely opportunity to bake lots of new bakes π Sucessfully completing last months challenge π
