Why I Love This Recipe

I have fond memories of my Uncle Des making marble cakes when our families would get together. When I was little they were my favorite cake and I could never decide whether I preferred the pink or the chocolate. I still love this perennial children's favorite but now tend to make them as cupcakes. They are a comforting reminder of a carefree childhood.

I like the combination of pink, white and chocolate but there are many other alternatives. Vary the colors to suit your own preferences or your party theme.
