Marble Pound Cake Recipe
This favorite marble pound cake recipe has been in our family for years. It's a traditional German cake that's easy to make.
In our family, our boys just 'loved' the chocolate part, so I often had two thirds of the cake be chocolate by doubling the chocolate quantity. The boys also asked requested a pure chocolate marble cake - that meant, only chocolate! Below is the original marble cake with a texture similar to that of a pound cake. You, too, can experiment with how much chocolate you want.
