Chocolate Vanilla Swirl Muffins (Marble Muffins)

I wanted to make a cupcakes for my daughter school party. She loves both chocolate and vanilla flavour. I could not decide which to make – vanilla or chocolate? Vanilla or chocolate? Finally, I decided just to make both – and mix them together.
Chocolate Vanilla Marble Cupcakes: Rich chocolate cake is swirled with classic vanilla to create one incredible cupcake. Serve as is or Top it with chocolate and vanilla swirled frosting for the perfect marble muffins!
- Wheat flour-1 1/2cup
- Baking soda-1tsp
- Baking powder-1/2tsp
- Salt-1/4tsp
- Skimmed Milk powder-2-3tbsp
For chocolate layer:
- Cocoa powder-2-3tbsp
- Hot water-1-2tbsp
Wet ingredients:
- Milk-1cup
- Vegetable oil-1/4cup
- Cider vinegar-2tsp
- Brown sugar-3/4cup
- Vanilla essence-1tbsp
- Hot water -1/4 cup (Adjust as per consistency required)
- Combine milk and vinegar in a bowl and set aside until required.
- Pre-heat the oven at 180deg C (Fan assisted) line the muffin tray with liners.
- In a medium bowl sift in whole wheat flour, milk powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt in bowl and set aside.
- In other bowl whisk in oil, sugar and to this add the milk and vinegar mixture. Now to this add dry ingredients and mix slowly until combined.
- Once the batter has come together, separate it evenly it evenly into two bowls.
- In one bowl add cocoa powder (If required add 1 – 2 tbsp to adjust consistency) into one of the bowl and stir.
- In another bowl add Vanilla essence and stir until combined.
- To make a layered/striped muffins place one tbsp Vanilla batter and then chocolate batter on the top. Continue doing this until the muffin mould is 2/3 full. (Make sure not to tilt or jiggle the pan, let the batter spread by itself)
- Once all the muffin cases are filled bake approx. 15-18 minutes (time may vary from oven to oven so keep an eye after 12 minutes of baking)
- Do a toothpick check- if the toothpick inserted comes out clear its done.
- And then let the cupcakes cool a bit and then transfer on to the cooling rack.
Note:
- Frosting can be done if required.
- Sweetness can be personlised
- Batter consistency to be adjusted as per Cocoa powder added
- Milk powder can be replaced with Milk. In that case water can be skipped or you can add water as per batter consistency
