Chocolate & Vanilla Marble Cake

There’s something about a swirl cake that is just magical! The colors, the flavors, the presentation – I just love it!

I’ve never made a marble cake before so I had to take a stab at it. After doing some research and adapting my favorite recipes, I took the plunge. It came out AWESOME! Of course being the chocoholic that I am, I absolutely had to drench it in chocolate ganache once it was done.

We may or may not have eaten about 1/2 the cake the day it was made. Moist, flavorful, and irresistible! This will definitely become one of my “showstopper” cakes when we have guests over.
