Marble Cake

Food had a tendency to come up on conversation with me, and when I meet someone new the answer to the age old "what's your favorite food?" question always interests me. Some people have really boring answers like chocolate, italian, or they give you the name of a bad restaurant. So, when I recently met someone new and found out his favorite food is marble cake I was very excited. You see, when someone asks you what your favorite food is, you should be specific. Why? Because it drastically increases your chances that they will make it for you!

We used a 9 inch round springform pan for this cake - line the bottom with parchment paper for easy transfer when it's cooked. First pour in the chocolate cake batter and then pour in the white cake batter. With a spoon spin the two cake batters together until it looks swirled together - make sure you scoop all the way to the bottom and bring it up to the top. Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes.

While the cake is still hot, run your knife around the outside edge of the pan, and open the springform pan. Let the cake cool, and frost with your favorite frosting. We used buttercream.

Enjoy! (and happy birthday to a new friend!)
