Eggless Marble Cake / Eggless Marble Loaf Cake / Chocolate Vanilla Loaf Cake~ For 5 Lakh Hits!!!

Finally my long time wish to bake a Marble cake & Zebra cake was happened Yesterday. Yaay...I baked a Marble Cake!!!!... Long back I bookmarked Eggless Marble Cake from Sharmis Passions. And at last Yesterday baked it as a Celebration Post recipe for my Blog's 5 Lakh Hits.

I made few changes to the original recipe and to my surprise the cake turned out perfect and delicious. Mostly the Eggless cakes will be little dense but this cake was so soft n light. The nature of the cake was like crumble like texture, even after the next day n refrigeration couldn't slice a smooth piece like Chocolate Cake. Don't bother about the texture enjoy this light n soft cake with or without frosting...now to the recipe...
