I baked this eggless marble cake with ricotta cheese, pumpkin puree and dark chocolate chunks few days back for our evening snacks just to finish up some leftover pumpkin puree.. Anything with chocolates are our family favourites, obviously i make bakes with chocolates quite often..This eggless marble cake goes for a quick preparation,quite a fabulous super delicious cake as i used yogurt,ricotta cheese and oil for making this cake instead of butter, definitely a beautiful cake to enjoy anytime of the day..They were super light,spongy and tremendously super moist coz of the pumpkin puree and ricotta cheese..We just loved having this cake when they were still warm, needless to say they vanished very much quickly and everyone at home just loved it..Sending to Vardhini's
