Eggs smell. It’s a fact. So I try to use as less of them as possible. Of course, cakes with eggs turn out delectable, but this my friends, will be a surprise to you. I made this at a party when my vegetarian friends over-numbered the non-veg ones. Moist and light, this was wiped out before I could say egg-less. And with a cup of coffee, Mmmm…
“An explosion
Of sweetness warm, 
A treat special
From dusk to dawn.
A spoonful
Black and white in one,
This volcanic dessert
Has match none.”

Description
This Eggless Banana Mocha Marble Cake is a moist and light dessert, perfect for vegetarians and coffee lovers alike. It combines the sweetness of bananas with a rich mocha flavor in a beautiful marbled pattern.
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
- 1 cup flour (Maida)
- 1/2 cup ground brown sugar
- 4 tbsp honey
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp instant coffee powder
- 1/4 cup warm water
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
- Mash the bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth.
- Sift the flour and baking soda together, then add to the mashed bananas.
- Add the vanilla essence, ground brown sugar, honey, and olive oil to the banana mixture and mix well until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- In a separate bowl, dissolve the instant coffee powder in warm water.
- Divide the batter into two equal parts. To one part, add the cocoa powder and dissolved coffee, mixing until just combined.
- Alternate spoonfuls of the plain and mocha batters into the prepared loaf pan to create a marbled effect.
- Use a knife to gently swirl through the batter for a more defined marble pattern.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
This cake is perfect for those who prefer eggless desserts. It pairs wonderfully with a cup of coffee. If you prefer a sweeter cake, increase the sugar to 3/4 cup. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
