There is a unique similarity between humans and food. Some people are sweet, some tangy, some bitter and some a mix of all the flavours. Its only when all the flavours are put together, that we get a delicious and sumptuous meal(or a happy life).
I have a sweet tooth. I generally love anything and everything that is sweet. I love baking. Making desserts is what I really like to do.
I had been thinking of baking something new for a long time. I finally decided to bake a marble cake. Let me tell that I love marble cakes. The old combination of vanilla and chocolate is enough to knock anyone's socks off!
Its a dessert that makes me feel that magic exists. The way the chocolate batter spooned on top of the vanilla  batter goes all the way down to create shapes, is just magical.
I enjoyed baking it and I would like to share with you the recipe.
P.S - The pictures have been taken by my mobile. They may not look very mouth-watering. That is the reason I am also adding pictures of marble cakes made by others..
