    MAKING OF CAKE BATTER

    • Take 1/2 cup milk and add 1/2 tsp lemon juice in it. Mix.
    • Keep aside for 10 minutes.
    • Take a bowl and add 3/4 cup powdered sugar, 1/2 cup curd, 1/3 cup oil, milk having lemon juice and 1 tsp vanilla essence.
    • Whisk them very well.
    • Put a sieve on the bowl and add 1.5 cup flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 2 tbsp milk powder and pinch of salt.
    • Sift them to the bowl.
    • Mix them using cut and fold method.
    • Now divide the batter into 3 equal proportions in 3 different bowls. About 3/4 cup of batter will go to each bowl.

    MAKING OF FIRST LAYER (DARK BROWN)

    • Add 2.5 tbsp of cocoa powder and 2 tbsp of milk in any of the one bowl.
    • Mix well. Dark brown batter is ready. Keep aside.

    MAKING OF SECOND LAYER (LIGHT BROWN)

    • Add 1 tsp of cocoa powder and 1/2 tsp of milk in any of the second bowl.
    • Mix well. Light brown batter is ready. Keep aside.
    • NOTE : Nothing needs to be added in 3rd bowl. It will remain as it is for making vanilla layer.

    BAKING A CAKE

    • Line a rectangular shaped baking tin with greased butter paper. We used loaf tin instead of cake tin.
    • First pipe the dark brown batter at the base of the loaf tin.
    • Tap the tin twice.
    • There after pipe the light brown batter all over the dark one. Do not tap this time.
    • At last, pipe the pale yellow batter over the top and again do not tap the tin.
    • In a pre-heated oven, place the loaf tin in the middle rack and bake for 40-45 minutes @180°C.
    • Take the cake out and check the doneness by inserting a toothpick. If the toothpick comes out clean, then it means cake is properly baked.
    • Let cake cool down a bit for 10-15 minutes.
    • After 10-15 minutes, remove the cake from the tin and place on cooling rack for complete cooling.
    • Slice and enjoy.

    Notes

    1. For better layering, we have used bread tin for baking because it is compact & tall and as a result helped in maintaining the layers.
    2. It is highly recommended to use piping bags for dropping batters. You need not to have professional piping bags compulsorily. Just mark a small cut on the side of polythene and use it as a piping bag.
    3. Some slices may seem like a marble cake but mainly you get the ombre effect though having difference in slices.
