Eggless Marble Cake: Chocolate and vanilla marble cake/pound cake have always been one of our favorite cakes. Being a fan I have tried to bake a marble cake without eggs, two times earlier and for some reason I wasn't satisfied enough to blog about it and just had abandoned the idea of baking it again.
Few weeks back tried to bake an eggless zebra cake and that flopped too. The taste was good but it didn't look perfect. The zebra like chocolate stripes were missing and all messed up. So couldn't blog that recipe as well.
I kept my fingers crossed that it should turn out perfect but as usual messed up with the marbling effect. Even the recipes advised that I shouldn't run the knife through the cake so many times mixing up the batters, I wasn't sure if I would get the marbling effect and did it a couple of times.
Of course it didn't turn out as good as I expected but nonetheless the taste and textures was very good that I decided to share the recipe here. So please make sure that you just do it one time each direction and leave it undisturbed.

My Notes

Harsha says
I have made this cake many times over the last few years, and everyone who has it loves it. I have started using ground up flax seed with water in the yoghourt mix, and it works really well.
Thank you for a fabulous recipe.
Madhuram says
You're very welcome, Harsha.
Anu says
Hi,
Can I use this recipe to make my son's b'day cake? I guess, I can cut some sugar in cake and can do the frosting.
Thanks
Madhuram says
Yes, you can, Anu.
Anjalidevi says

Madhuram says
You're welcome, Anjali Devi.
Talma says
Have you tried making it in a loaf cake pan? would it bake or it needs to be "flatter" in a 9x13?
Madhuram says
I have not tried it in a loaf cake, but it should work. The baking time will be a bit more.
Shivani says
I baked it following the same recipe but different laying method of the batter. The recipe made super delicious cake. Thanx a ton for this yummylicious quick fix!
Madhuram says
You're very welcome Shivani.
Yogita says
What is the substitute of butter in this ?
Madhuram says
I'm thinking 1/2 cup of oil or any vegan butter substitute.
