Ingredients

1-1/2 cup All-purpose Flour
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
1 pinch Salt
1/2 teaspoons Baking Soda
1/2 cups Olive Oil Or Any Vegetable Oil
1 cup Granulated Sugar
2 whole Eggs - Room Temperature
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1/2 cups Hot Water
1/2 teaspoons Vinegar
2 Tablespoons Cocoa Powder
1 teaspoon Instant Coffee Powder

Directions

1

Preheat oven at 180 C. Grease a 9-inch round baking tin and set it aside.
2

In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda and keep aside.
3

In another bowl, use a mixer to blend together the oil and sugar, till it forms a creamy mixture. Add eggs, vanilla extract, water and vinegar. Whisk on medium speed till everything is mixed together completely.
4

Now, lightly fold in the dry ingredients making sure no lumps are formed.
5

In a third medium-sized bowl, put half of the cake batter. Into that bowl add cocoa powder and coffee powder and whisk to form a smooth chocolaty batter. So now you have two equal-sized bowls of batter, one plain and one with chocolate flavor.
6

Take the baking tin, pour in 2 tablespoons of plain batter, then 2 tablespoons of chocolate batter over it, and continue these layers one by one till both batters are finished. Now take a toothpick and drag it through the batter from the center out to make web design or make any design that you desire.
7

Bake at 180 C for 40 minutes. Then do the toothpick test: Insert a toothpick at the center of the cake and if it comes out clean, cake is done. Cool the cake and then serve as desired.
