Whole Wheat Marble cake is a delicious combination of vanilla and chocolate cake in one and goes perfectly with a cup of tea. This is a classic chocolate and vanilla marble cake recipe made with whole wheat flour. The cake tastes best when consumed warm as it is made with whole wheat flour and it might tend to lose its texture when cold. So before you consume just pop the cake into a microwave for a minute or a preheated oven for 5 mins at 180°C.

Whole Wheat Marble cake can also be prepared with oil, just substitute the butter with 1/2 cup oil (any refined oil without a strong smell). Also to make the cake more rich substitute the cocoa powder with melted dark chocolate. The recipe asks to sieve the flour for 2-3 times, this is a crucial step as it uses whole wheat flour and sieving the flour several times makes it light. So lets start baking!!!
