The Best Eggless Marble Cake
{Super Moist & Super Rich Marble Cake}
Life is good and superbly good! Touch wood! I can’t complain. Pittsburgh is a great city with a very warm and welcoming community.
I have lived in many states of America and came back to Pennsylvania after 7 years. The one thing I have realized is that People of Pennsylvania are the True Liberals of America – Warm, Unprejudiced and Radical. Thank goodness for that.
To top it all, this gorgeous Eggless Marble Cake made my life super special over the weekend. The cake came out so moist and soft that the whole family couldn’t stop at one slice, and mind it that I had cut out thick slices.
The Best Kind of Cake
This Cake reminded me of my childhood cake by BRITANNIA . It used to be the best kind – super soft, super moist, decadent, biteful and mouthful. We, as kids, could not stop at one slice. The minute that packet got opened, the whole cake was gone with no crumbs left behind.
To be honest that I was apprehensive about baking this Eggless Marble Cake. I kept searching for a good recipe to try. The recipes either required out of the box ingredients or were long.
I must have read about 20 plus recipes but they didn’t suit my palette. Then, I read and re-read my eggless vanilla cake and blender chocolate cake recipes and came out with this. The first slice was a HALLELUJAH MOMENT of my Baking endeavors. That ultimate bite was pretty amazing.
Why I love this Cake?
Slowly, I am becoming an Eggless Bakes Convert. My confession for the day is that – I eat eggs and always used eggs in my bakes till last year. Then I shifted my gear towards the Eggless baking and couldn’t be happier. If the bakes with eggs are more airy, the eggless bakes are very very very moist. I pick moist over airy, any day.
You got to try this amazingly delicious Marble Cake to believe me. Check out some of the Eggless Bakes from my blog to kill your curiosity over the eggless mania. Super Moist Eggless Chocolate Cake is the most searched recipe on my blog and Pinterest . Eggless Masala Chai Cakes , NaanKhatai , Thumbprint Cookies are some of the goodies to name.
I promise you will be floored. If not, save these recipes for the days when you run out of eggs or entertaining a guest who has egg allergies or is “vegetarian”.

The Best Eggless Marble Cake Recipe
Ingredients
DRY INGREDIENTS
- All Purpose Flour - 2 cups +2 tbsp
- Baking Powder - 2 tsp
- Baking Soda - 1/2 tsp
- Salt - 1/2 tsp
- Sugar fine grain - 1&1/3 cup
- Cocoa powder unsweetened - 4 tbsp
WET INGREDIENTS
- Vegetable or Canola Oil - 1/2 cup
- Yogurt thick at room temperature - 1 cup
- Milk room temperature - 1/4 cup
- Hot Water - 4 tbsp
- Vanilla Extract - 1 tsp
Instructions
Preheat the oven at 350*F / 180*C. Take a regular size Cake Loaf Pan (7-8inches) and grease it lightly. You may also line it with a parchment paper for easy handling.
Mixing the Ingredients
- Take a big bowl and sift 2 cups all purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt into it. Mix it well with a fork. Set aside.
- Take another big bowl. Add Sugar + Oil + Yogurt in it. Take the electric Egg Beater and whisk all the ingredients for 2 minutes, till light and sugar is mixed well.
- Add milk + Flour mix to this sugar and yogurt mix. Take a spatula or Large Fork or Use the Electric
- Egg Beater and Mix all the ingredients gently till dry ingredients are incorporated well.
- Meanwhile dissolve 4 tbsp of coco powder in 4 tbsp of hot water. Mix well till it becomes kind of sauce. Set aside.
Dividing the Batter into 2
- Now divide this batter into 2 equal parts.
- In one part of the batter, add vanilla essence and 2 tbsp of all purpose flour. Mix it well till incorporated in the batter. This is your vanilla Batter.
- In other half of the batter, add the coco powder sauce. Mix well with a fork till well incorporated and the whole of this batter turns chocolate brown in color.
Pouring the Batter in Cake Loaf Pan
- I made it very simple.
- Added vanilla batter first at the bottom of the pan.
- Then poured the chocolate batter on top.
- Tapped the pan on the counter few rimes so that the batter settles down evenly with no gaps in between.
- You may pour the vanilla and chocolate batters in the pan in alternate sequence or the sequence of your desire, may be chocolate first and vanilla later. However you want to do it.
Baking the Eggless Marble Cake
- Place the cake loaf on the lower middle shelf of the oven.
- Bake it for 35-45 minutes. The time will vary depending upon the type of your oven.
- I would recommend you to check the cake for done-ness with wooden pick test, after 30 minutes.
- Check every 5 minutes in the middle of the cake, after 30 minutes to see if the cake is baked.
- Mine was done around 40 minutes.
Cooling and Cutting
- Once done, Take the pan out of the oven. Let the cake rest in the pan for 10 minutes.
- Run a sharp knife around the cake and very gently flip it out. If you have used parchment paper, then pull out with parchment paper.
- Set it on cooling rack and let it cool down for another 10 minutes before you slice it. If you slice a very hot cake, it becomes mushy.
- Slice the cake and enjoy a hearty slice with a cup of coffee or tea.
It is a perfect cake to accompany a cup of Tea or Coffee. If I call it a Coffee Cake or Tea Cake, then it perfectly suits the title. Bake a loaf and gift it to your hostess or teachers or to your neighbors. I am sure they will love it.

Hi,
Love making your recipe. Always a super success.
Is there any way I can replace all purpose flour with whole wheat or a gluten free alternative?
Very informative article, Thanks for share such a master-piece.
Can I use Nutella instead of cocoa powder and water..if yes what is the quantity of Nutella.?
I have not used Nutella in my cake so can’t advise on that.
Hello ..
Can we bake this in a Bundt Pan ? If yes would the baking time be more /less ?
Yes you can make it in a bundt pan. Bundt pan cakes cook faster.
Just made this recipe! Very easy to make and turned out delicious.
Thank you for a great recipe.
Hi Sonal,
First time visitor to your page. Tried this cake today. Excellent proportions and it came out very well and delicious.
Thanks so much for a great recipe going in my recipe book!
Vandana
So glad you liked it Vandana.
I hope you will keep returning here for more recipes.
Tried this recipe. Turned out brilliant. Thanks
Hi there, thank you, I made it and it’s so good! Do you recommend this to make a birthday cake?
And can I double up the ingredients? I need a size 9 and a 6.
I did today with self rising flour…..it turn out so nice..tq for the recipe
So glad that you liked it
Hello. I tried this cake today and it turned out great. Only that I used all the exact measurements the batter was extra thick I had to add little more milk. When we add the flour mixture into the wet ingredients are we to add all of it at once or slowly half. With the cocoa and water also I had to add more water. Where could I be wrong. Although the cake turned great.
Plus it looks exactly like the one in the photo. It rose well and soft.
Thanks
Sonal,
Not sure what went wrong. This is a recipe tried and tested by many as is and with great results every single time. :). May be you are used to a lighter cake batter..that happens sometimes…the habit of making one kind of cake can throw us off from the consistency of other kind of cake.. all cakes are cooked differently and it’s a personal choice. If what you did worked for you, then keep doing that :).
Really good recipe, very easy to make and tastes delicious! This was the first time I made an eggless cake and it was amazing, I made it in a round tin and looked just as good.
Thank you Kiran
Can I use a handbeater
Hi, I googled and it said 1 cup is equal to 128 grams…u said it’s 237 ml…am confused. Please help.
Thanks
Go with the google if you are converting. Since all the ingredients ya weigh different for 1 cup.
Hi, can I bake this in an 8″ round pan?
Sure you can. Timings might vary. Just keep checking with a wooden pick for it’s done-ness.
Hi, though the taste is very good..it didnt rise from the centre..i made in a round tin, using wheat flour.what cd b the reason
It’s whole wheat which is much heavier and the eggless cakes are normally denser than the regular ones.
I have made so many of your vegan recipes….they’re awesome! This is my son’s favorite dessert! It looks exactly like the picture and is easy to make!
Thank you so much ☺️
Can this be baked in a round cake pan?
Yes
Made this cake for EID yesterday n it came out amazing
Thank you
Aww thanks Ayesha! Belated Happy Eid!
Made the marble cake using your recipe. The out come was superb.
Thank you for trying and the feedback Shalini 🙂
Hey Sonal!
The cake looks really divine. Jst want to know the exact measure of 1cup.Will u please tell me.
Hello Vibhina,
Thank you .
I use cup measurements.
In USA, 1 cup=237 ml.
You can go online and find cup to grams measurements. Many websites have that info. If you decide to do grams measurements, then keep in mind that all the ingredients weigh differently. For example, 1 cup sugar will weigh differently from 1 cup flour.
I made it last night and my family and friends totally loved it
Thank you Dolly ❤️
The cake so moist and delicious:) as always awesome pictures…
Thank you Shubha
