PREPARATION

Sieve the maida + baking pwdr twice. Transfer to a mixing bowl .
Powder the sugar .
Grease the baking tin.
Preheat the oven at 180 * C

METHOD

In a mixie jar take curd + vinegar + baking soda and blend well . Keep the jar closed aside , for 5 minutes till the mixture becomes frothy .

Once the mixture becomes frothy, add powdered sugar + water + oil in the same jar and blend well.

Now gradually add this wet mixture into the sieved flour and mix gently with a spatula . [no lumps – do not over mix or the cake will become hard — after adding flour never blend the batter for any cakes .You have to mix with spatula]

***Now the batter is ready.[ it should be of pourable consistency , so that it spread easily – adjust with little milk if the batter is very thick ]

Divide the batter in 3 bowls .

In one add red colour + essence and in other add yellow colour + essence and in the third batter add vanilla essence and mix well.

Pour a ladle of plain vanilla batter and spread it

Now pour a ladle of pink batter and spread it with a spatula .

Now pour yellow batter .

Tap the tin gently before pouring the next batch so that the batter spreads evenly .

Repeat the process.[try adding plain batter between both the colour batter ]

Bake it for 25 mins to 35 minutes in a preheated oven at 180* C. [for me it took 25 mins as the baking tin was wide ]

Check after 25 minutes .

Bake it till the tooth pick inserted in the centre comes clean .

Allow it to cool completely . [ 30 minutes ]

Run a knife around the edges of the tin to loosen the cake and invert the tin over a plate. Again allow it to cool.

Cake is ready to serve .

Now you can slice it and serve it .

NOTES

Once the batter is ready ,bake it .
You can try the same recipe for any other cake recipe ,just use different essence and colours accordingly.
You can make marble cake of many flavours and colours .
