Let me tell you how I made it step by step. ![IMG_20250720_173951.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmNacsmAWNTSiN23abFmgYYZAt2SijyR3yRz4yatDkoexd/IMG_20250720_173951.jpg) ### Ingredients 2 fresh eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla essence 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 cup oil 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon cocoa powder Butter or oil for greasing the pan Baking paper Melted chocolate for topping Chopped almond for decoration ![IMG_20250720_160734.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmWabWiszsPDeVr7u12mV1R4NA4JEFQ2SQ1rcpxXVeBage/IMG_20250720_160734.jpg) ## Step by Step Method: ### Step 1: Prepared the Batter Start by cracking two egg into a large mixing bowl. Beat them thoroughly until the yolk and white are well combine. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence to infuse the batter with that lovely vanilla aroma. Mix well. Next add half a cup of sugar. Beat the mixture until the sugar dissolve and it become slightly frothy. Slowly pour in half a cup of oil to added moisture and richness to the cake. Mixed well again. Gradually added 1 cup of all purpose flour and gently fold it into the wet mixture. Continue mixing until you have a smooth lumped free batter. |![1.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmc1JY2AYZuF9Bf4KPLa34ePqGBafiwynnpCdqZgkxFd26/1.jpg)|![2.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmTjqZXWj7phhcey56XT7e7io9SyPkrHDfqUdKWx2GVgJQ/2.jpg)|![3.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmaGisaMjMwLSSe8SUYkaj8TEsHTitk8Xub9ji95sghAYB/3.jpg)| |-|-|-| ### Step 2: Making Vanilla and Chocolate Batters Carefully divide the batter into two equal parts. To one part keep it as is this will be your vanilla batter. To the other part add 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder. Mix thoroughly until the cocoa is fully incorporat creating a rich chocolatey batter. |![1.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmNxU4ANS7xn2oJ8HmuHTgcSdXPfs6FNMxLkJLrCPNST9E/1.jpg)|![2.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmTSDQfLHCBAcvpqiPykLtEk517ZSAJuS9iW5e5Ms9tYg7/2.jpg)|![3.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmbFPHTyHk4SiJ5cWYG4ZmDXEjm5VgAJhGT2hKSHjQUp7d/3.jpg)| |-|-|-| ### Step 3: Prepared the Pan Take a deeped cooking pot or and grease the bottom generously with butter or oil. Place a piece of baking paper on the grease surface to prevent the cake from sticked and to make removal easier after baking. ### Step 4: Layered the Cake Here come the fun part Start by pouring a spoonful of the vanilla batter into the center of the pan. Next pour a spoonful of the chocolate batter directly on top of the vanilla batter in the center. Continue alternating spoonfuls of vanilla and chocolate batters always pouring in the center. The batter will naturally spread out and create beautiful rings or layers of vanilla and chocolate. Keep going until you have used all the batter. This method create a stunning marble like effect once bake.
