Eggless Marble Loaf Cake

Today's recipe is an eggless marble loaf cake or tea cake,with vanilla and chocolate flavor.Already I have share d a version of marble with condensed milk and oil but this version is slightly different and uses yogurt and milk.
This version is a simple one and uses basic ingredients to make.Here I didn't swirl the entire batter, instead layered the vanilla and chocolate batter and swirled the top only.Also I made two,6 inch loaves instead of making a 9 inch loaf.
