A QUICK TIP TO BAKE THE PERFECT MARBLE CAKE
Here’s a quick tip on how to make sure your cake is baked perfectly. Use a skewer or a toothpick and insert it into the cake all the way through to the bottom and when you pull it out it should come out clean. If any wet batter is stuck to the skewer or the toothpick, then your cake needs to be in the oven a little bit longer.
Alright now, Let’s get to the recipe now.
