"A marble cake from a chocolate dream.. We all know a great marble cake recipe, but now we will also learn how to take the next step with a gorgeous cake. It’s a safe bet that a marble cake is the first cake most of us eat in our lives, ever. Thanks to how easy it is, it is quite the common childhood memory for most, and luckily it is also so tasty. How I make this cake even better is the homemade chocolate glaze that does not complicate this easy base recipe, but only makes it even more indulgent. It’s so rewarding to revisit a cozy, moist, soft, and now chocolate covered marble cake on any day. Are you having yours with tea? Perhaps while having a crochet session, or with your favorite morning show on the TV…"
