      Ingredients
  • All purpose flour - 2 cups
  • Baking powder - 1 tsp
  • Baking soda - 1/4 tsp
  • Salt - a pinch
  • Eggs - 3 large no.s
  • Sugar -  3/4 cup ( powdered)
  • Condensed milk - 1 tin ( can use l cup powdered sugar instead)
  • Unsalted butter - 100 gm
  • Vanilla essence - 1 tsp
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder - 2 tbsp
  • Warm milk - 1/4 to 1/2 cup
  • Choco chip - few for decorating ( optional)
    Method
  • Keep all the refrigerated ingredients in a room temperature for 30 mins..Its very important..
  • Preheat the oven to 180 degree C.. Grease the pan with some butter or oil sprinkled with flour and tap the excess flour..Can use butter paper instead..Keep aside
  • In a bowl, add flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt and mix well with a large spoon or whisk thoroughly and keep aside..
  • In another large bowl, add softened butter and sugar and beat well till creamy..Add condensed milk and beat again for few seconds till combined..
  • Add eggs one at a time and beat at a medium to high speed till combined and double in volume..
  • Add vanilla essence and beat for few seconds
  • Add the dry ingredients ( flour mixture) alternately three times and beat at a very low speed. You can also fold it with a large spoon slowly instead of a beater..
  • Add little warm milk 1/4 cup at a time and beat at a very low speed or fold with a spoon..Batter should be medium thick..If batter is too thick, add little more warm milk and beat again..
  • Divide the batter equally into two separate bowls..Keep one batter plain..
  • Another bowl, add cocoa powder and beat at a very low speed..


  • In a greased cake pan, add large dollop of vanilla batter and another dollop of cocoa batter alternating each one..See the pic below ( I forgot to click photo of first layer, never mind, I clicked the pic of second layer :) )
  • Spread lightly with a fork as shown in a picture and make a pattern of your choice..
  • Add again another large dollops of vanilla and cocoa batter alternating each one on top of first layer and spread it lightly with fork as mentioned earlier...
  • Repeat the third step..



  • Tap the sides of the cake pan to release the air bubbles and also cocoa and vanilla layers will be separated.
  • Place the cake tin in a preheated oven and bake for about 40 to 45 mins till the fork or knife insert in the center comes out clean..Otherwise bake 5 mins more..
  • Place the cake tin on a wire rack and let it cool for few minutes..Then flip the cake on a wire rack..Add choco chips on top of the cake,when it is still warm ( optional )..Let the cake cool completely.
  • Cut into slices and enjoy..I like to eat warm from the oven..
  • Store in a airtight container when it cools completely..It will stay good for 3 days at room temperature , other wise refrigerate it will stay good for 1 week..But mine finished 2 days itself
