How To make Marble Cake At Home?

Marble Cake Recipe

I love a good marble cake.  How about you?  There's just something so appealing and festive about the beautifully marbled swirl that appears when you cut off a slice. The flavor is not too rich but still satisfying, and I really appreciate how it diplomatically resolves the whole chocolate vs vanilla debate.  Read on for a recipe and details on our favorite swirl-making technique.

Growing up, my brother's favorite choice for his birthday cake was boxed marble cake, and truth be told, he still requests the boxed version from my mom today, which she makes as a sheet cake.  But I prefer this loaf version, which doesn't taste of chemicals like the boxed version and offers a simple, elegant profile.  The ganache frosting is optional but a nice touch and helps to keep things moist
