milk - 1/3 cup
water - 1/3 cup (adjust as per requirement)
oil - 1/3 cup
Method :
Mix all the dry ingedients well. In a bowl beat the eggs till nice a fluffy. Add sugar n beat well. Add-in the milk and oil n mix well. Once ready add the dry mixture n fold in well to avoid lumps. Add water to get a proper consistency of cake batter.
Note : am a lazy person when it come to beating the eggs n beating with milk n oil. So i just put in all the 3 into a mixie n gave it good beating .... hehehe...
dont forget to add the vanilla essence to the vanila cake batter.
Now dont ask me about the temp settings for a oven cause i dont use one. I make mine in a microwave.
grease the baking tin/dish.First put a small laddle full of vanilla batter in the centre of the baking tray..DONT SPREAD. On top of it a laddle full of chocolate cake batter. Continue pouring alternate types of batter at the center of the tin. Since the baking tray is greased the batter will spread from the centre and u will be able to see alternate color rings. Make sure u dont disturb the tray while stuffing it into the oven.
For the choco mocha dip :
A bar of chocolate.( I used a small sized Dairy milk and few Hershey Kisses)
powdered sugar - suite ur taste
milk - 1 tbsp
Method :
Melt the choclate along with some milk. When almost done stir in the sugar. For the mocha part of it... u can add a lil bit of instant coffee pwdr. hmm I love dark choclates and coffee.. don't I ???
Looks really mouth watering !! I'm gonna try this sometime..
