Vanilla Marble Loaf Cake, Soft And Beautiful

Most of my fellow bloggers in the UK are complaining about the weather. Well I am also one among them, I mean common it is April and it is still snowing here. Any ways the only good way to cheer up the mood in these chill days is to bake something sweet.

I love the smell of the bakes especially with a of touch vanilla. Every time I think of vanilla one cake that pops in my mind is good old Victoria Sponge Cake. I have made eggless vanilla cup cakes before, this time I wanted to try vanilla loaf cake without butter. I always planned to make one but every time I did something new to it, thus forgetting about the plain loaf. Yeah! This time too I did the same thing, I added my favorite silver spoon blue colour to bring the marble effect.  Silver Spoon has some great range in the colors and I find them best among all the food colors. The overall taste and look of the cake was amazing. I added very little blue color and I was satisfied with the outcome. Coming back to the recipe.

Ingredients:

All purpose flour- 11/4 cup
Egg - 2
Oil-1/4 cup
Sugar-3/4 cup
Milk -1/4 cup
Vanilla extract-1 tbsp
Baking powder -1/2 tbsp

Silver spoon blue colour- ½ tsp

Method:-

1. Preheat the oven to 350 F/ 180 C
2. In a bowl beat the eggs well. Add sugar and beat well until it dissolves.
3. Now add oil, milk and beat well.
4. In a bowl sieve all purpose flour and baking powder.
5. Gradually add egg mixture to the flour and mix well. Finally add vanilla extract and mix well.
6. Grease the loaf pan with oil / butter and pour the 3/4^th mixture to the pan.
7. To the remaining 1/4^th mixture, mix the silver spoon blue colour .
8. Put the colour mixture on the 3/4^th mixture such that it gives marble effect. Take a tooth pick and try to bring more marble effect by over lapping vanilla mixture to coloured one.
9. Bake it for 50 - 55 minutes or till the tooth pick come out as clean.(Mine took 55 minutes).

Notes:

If you do not want marble effect, simply put the complete batter in the pan to bake.

Any kind of nuts can also be added to the batter to make nutty vanilla cake.

Serving Ideas:

Cut of the slice and heat in microwave for 20 seconds. Serve hot with ice cream.

Enjoy it with nutella, jam or butter.

Each slice can also be made to use tiramisu trifle like here.

Taste:

Soft, spongy and  beautiful.
