What is marble cake? A marble cake is butter cake with mottled with chocolate or with streaks of chocolate. It is usually made with cake batter and a chocolate batter. 🙂

Marble cake is one of my favorite cakes, It’s perfect with a cup of coffee or tea during the day. It is a rich, moist and buttery cake with chocolate swirls. Super easy to make but just like Lapis Surabaya, this cake needs a lot of eggs.
