Method

Preheat the oven at 160 C

Prepare the cake tin by spreading a little butter all around the tin and then add little flour and spread it to all sides uniformly.  Knock off the excess flour

Or you can line the tin with a butter paper/parchment paper

Mix all purpose flour and baking powder.  Sieve it and keep aside

To a bowl add eggs, sunflower oil, powdered sugar, salt, milk and vanilla essence. Here i used a food processor

Beat until light and fluffy

Add this to the sieved all purpose flour mix

Fold in well and make a smooth ribbon consistency batter

Now divide this batter to 2 parts equally

Mix coco powder in 2 table spoon milk and add it to one bowl and combine well

Now you have 2 types of cake batter.  Vanilla and chocolate

To a prepared cake tin pour a ladle full of vanilla cake batter

Do not tilt or spread the batter
Now pour a ladle full of chocolate batter on to the vanilla batter

Keep repeating vanilla and chocolate batters alternatively until the whole batter is finished

Now hold a tooth pick or skewer in the center of the cake batter

Draw a line towards the sides of the pan

Draw lines to all sides.  Or if you wish to do a different pattern do accordingly

Place in the center rack of the oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes at 160 C

Insert a wooden skewer in the middle and check. If it comes out clean then the cake is ready

Remove from oven and let it cool

Once the cake is cooled well remove from cake tin

Cut and serve with a cup of tea or coffee

Baking time may vary depending on the oven, so adjust it accordingly
