Marble Cake (taken on February 16, 2014)
Last weekend, I had a craving for my Mom’s marble cake. It’s a family favorite (except for the fact that my Dad won’t eat cake, only apple tarte, ha!) and whenever I feel a little homesick, I bake something that reminds me of my childhood.
I personally prefer a good (homemade!) pound cake over any fancy cake. Here in the US for a lot of people it’s all about the frosting. Well, marble cake doesn’t have any frosting, just a dusting of powdered sugar, and it’s just perfect that way. Crisp on the outside, soft on the inside and sweet-but-not-too-terribly-sweet.
Perfection in a cake pan.

The funny thing is, I also had a craving for a good, simple marble cake and baked one Saturday night so we could have some for our breakfast and “Kaffe & Kuchen” on Sunday.
