Marble Cake
Marble cake is a cake with a streaked or mottled appearance (like marble) achieved by very lightly blending light and dark batter. It can be a mixture of vanilla and chocolate cake, in which case it is mainly vanilla, with streaks of chocolate. This Chocolate Marble cake is so moist and flavorful that it really doesn't need a frosting.
