![Gluten-Free Chocolate Chai Marbled Cake [Vegan]](https://top-100-recipes.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/chai-860x573.jpg)
I used a ready-mixed gluten-free flour, which worked really well for me. Gluten-free batter doesn’t act like normal batter, though, so you should expect this one to be somewhat less flexible and liquid — not quite as “pourable”, I mean. So when you “pour” the batter into the cake tin, you will have to spread it out with a spatula to make sure it reaches all corners and sides of the tin. The cake is also slightly drier than my regular marbled cake recipe, which I actually don’t mind as I can spread a little almond butter on top without the slice crumbling on my plate. If you don’t like the texture to be quite so dry, just bake 5 minutes less.
Chocolate Chai Marbled Cake [Vegan, Gluten-Free]
Ingredients You Need for Chocolate Chai Marbled Cake [Vegan, Gluten-Free]
- 1 + 2/3 cup gluten-free flour mix
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 cups of sugar, or less
- 1 cup coconut oil, melted
- 3/4 cup soy milk
- 1 tsp vanilla paste
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp ground flaxseed + 5 tbsp water
- 1 + 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 3/4 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp ground mace
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp ground cloves
How to Prepare Chocolate Chai Marbled Cake [Vegan, Gluten-Free]
- Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees and line or grease a loaf tin.
- In a small bowl combine the ground flaxseed and water. Set aside.
- Sift the flour and baking powder into a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the center and pour in the sugar, coconut oil, vanilla paste, soy milk and flaxseed mixture. Fold the wet ingredients into the dry.
- Pour half of the batter into another bowl. Fold in the cocoa powder and spices.
- Pour half of the vanilla batter into the loaf tin, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. Pour half of the chocolate chai batter, smoothing it out over the vanilla batter as best as you can. Repeat with the remainder of the vanilla and chocolate chai batters.
- Bake for 55-60 minutes, at which point the top should crack open like the top of a volcano and a skewer should come out clean. Cool on a wire rack before slicing.
