How do I create the marble effect in this cake?

After pouring 3/4 of the plain dough into the baking pan, mix the remaining dough with cocoa powder. Pour this chocolate dough on top of the light layer, then pull a fork through the dough to create the marbled pattern.

Can I use a different type of flour for this marble cake?

The recipe suggests wheat flour or light spelled flour. Using other flours might alter the texture, so it's best to stick to these options for optimal results.

What kind of vegetable oil is best for this recipe?

The recipe specifies using a tasteless vegetable oil, such as sunflower oil or rapeseed oil, to ensure the oil's flavor doesn't overpower the cake.

How can I tell if my vegan marble cake is fully cooked?

The cake should be cooked in a preheated oven at 355 degreesF for about 50 minutes. You can test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean, the cake is ready.

What's the best way to store leftover marble cake?

Allow the finished marble cake to cool completely before carefully removing it from the mold. Store it at room temperature in an airtight container for a few days, or freeze for longer freshness.
