My mom was never big into baking, but growing up, this Marble Cake was the only cake she ever made. This cake was her specialty.

What is Eggless Marble Cake?

I love Marble Cake. It’s a combination of both vanilla and chocolate, so whether you’re a vanilla or chocolate lover, this cake will win anyone over. This Eggless Marble Cake pairs perfectly with a cup of hot Masala Chai.

Can I make this recipe vegan, gluten-free?

For a vegan option: You will need vegan butter and vegan sweetened condensed milk.

For a gluten-free option: You will need to replace regular white flour with gluten-free flour.

Can I replace water with milk?

Yes! For a creamier texture, you can absolutely replace water with milk. I didn’t because this cake already has butter and condensed milk, so it’s creamy enough.

    The cake turned out so good and moist. It was just the right amount of sweet. It give you that warm homely cake feel and reminds of childhood.

    1. HI Shreya, So glad to hear. My mom made this cake for us when we were kids, so I totally get the childhood sentiment. 🙂

  2. HI Jess. I’m so sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, eggless baking can be very tricky. Couple of things – did you use vinegar? Also, did you overmix the batter? If you overmix the batter, especially in eggless baking, the cake will not rise. I’m sorry!

    Made this cake for Thanksgiving and it was a hit with my eggless family.

    I used only 2 tablespoons of sugar to control the sweetness (recipe says can go to up 4)

    Also added in 1 tablespoon of instant coffee mix into the chocolate batter to help bring out more of the chocolate flavour.

    Finished it off with a simple orange glaze. It was divine!

    The cake stayed moist for a few days but warming it up in the microwave (15 secs) gives it a nice warmth.

    Thank you so much for this recipe that I will make again and again!!
