Instruction

  • In a bowl, whisk all the wet ingredients, salt and sugar until well combined. (Add flaxmeal to the wet for AP version)
  • In another bowl, whisk the flours, baking powder and spices and add to the wet ingredients.
  • Whisk until just about combined into a flowy batter. Use a few teaspoons more water or flour if needed, since the water absorption depends on the flours.
  • Transfer half of the cake mix to another bowl and add cocoa powder to it. Mix till combined.
  • The cocoa powder will thicken the batter a little, Add 2-3 teaspoons water to the cocoa batter to get it to the same consistency as the white batter.
  • Take 2 ladles or small bowls of the same size and pour a ladle of the white cake mix onto parchment lined or well greased cake pan.
  • Then pour a ladle of cocoa mix on top of the white mix.
  • Continue till all mix gets used up.
  • Bake in preheated 360 degrees F for 35-40 minutes until toothpick from the center comes out clean.
  • Serve as is, or topped with melted chocolate.
  • Cool for a bit before slicing for less crumbly slices.
