Eggless Marble Cake

This is a super easy recipe for Eggless Marble Cake. You won’t believe the easy steps involved. You do not even need a hand beater or a stand mixer to prepare the batter. You just need to whisk by hand. There is no essence added in this cake. Instead, the zest of an orange is added. I strongly suggest that you use the same as it takes the cake to another level.
