Marble Cake recipe. Marble cake is a cake with mottled appearance like marble. This cake is wonderfully rich and buttery with a moist and tender texture. A marble cake is not difficult to make. It is actually one batter that is divided and the cocoa powder is added to one portion. The marbling effect is created by placing the two batters alternately in a pan. Then use a skewer running through the two batters to give it a marble effect. Next time if you can’t decide whether to make a cocoa chocalate cake or a butter cake, combine them to make a marble cake! 🙂
