Ingredients Serving: 1

1 Cup + 2 Tbsp Maida/All purpose flour
1 Tsp Baking Powder
½ Tsp Baking Soda
1/3 Cup Vegetable or Olive Oil (You can also use melted unsalted butter. I used a mixture of both)
½ Cup Fresh Thick Curd
1 Cup Powdered Sugar
1 Tsp Vanilla Essence
1 Tbsp Icing Sugar
2 Tbsp Cocoa Powder
2 Tbsp Water
Milk (If required)

Instructions

Preheat oven at 180 degree Celsius.
Sieve Maida, Baking Powder and Baking Soda in a bowl.
In a separate bowl add Oil, Fresh Thick Curd and blend using a hand whisker till it becomes light.
Add Powdered Sugar to it gradually mixing it in the oil-curd mixture. Add Vanilla Essence and mix well.
Now add the flour mixture to it gradually mixing well to form a smooth batter. If the batter feels tight, add a little milk as required. Your batter should be of pouring consistency.
In a separate bowl mix Icing Sugar, Cocoa Powder and Water and form a smooth paste.
Now take the greased cake pan and place a parchment paper at the bottom. Add half of the batter mixture and over it, add half of the cocoa paste.
Make swirls into the batter using a knife or any other utensil. Ensure to dig deep into the batter so that swirls gets created deep inside the batter. Do not overdo it - you just have to swirl once or twice.
Add the remaining batter and over it add the cocoa paste. Make swirls again as per previous step.
Bake the cake in a preheated oven at 180 degree Celsius for 20-25 min or till a toothpick comes clean.
