Powdered sugar – 3/4 cup
Milk-1 cup
Butter – 1/2 cup
Baking Soda- 1/2 teaspoon
Baking Powder – 2 teaspoons

1. Sieve the flour, baking powder, baking soda thrice and keep aside.
2. Beat together butter and sugar till fluffy.
3. Add the milk and beat till creamy.
4. Add the vanilla essence, condensed milk and stir to mix.
5. Add the maida / all purpose flour and mix well to form a creamy batter.
6. Take 1/4th of this batter and add the cocoa powder mixed with hot water.
7. Grease a pan with butter and dust maida/ all purpose flour / line a cake tin.
8. Pour the vanilla batter into the tray to fill half of it and then pour the chocolate batter in small circles a little apart [on the vanilla batter].The total batter must fill only 3/4th of the pan.
9. Using a fork make swirl patterns of the chocolate batter.
10. Bake in a pre heated oven at 170 C for 45 minutes or till a skewer comes out clean.
11. Remove from oven, leave to for 10 minutes and invert into a wire rack to cool.
12. Once fully cooled cut and serve.

I had some batter remaining so I made some cupcakes also……

Note :

• The cake is very soft so slice carefully only after the cake has cooled down completely.
