Marble Cake

Baking is itself an art which I love the most. Everything has be in that perfect proportion , neither overcooked nor undercooked and I am lucky enough to come from such a family where everyone is an excellent cook. Every occasion in our family is enjoyed with the most amazing food we all have where everyone participates equally. If Mom is making Curry then Dad is cutting salad to that ultimate precision. Granny Making pickles to Uncle stirring the dough.
Almost all of us have eaten a Vanilla - Chocolate Marble Cake , but today in the evening I tried this unique Marble cake with a totally different color combination. Yet , the baking method and ingredients simple and easily available.
