you are my favorite cake teacher💜💙 I was waiting till you upload another super duper video😋

I've just viewed your lemon cake ... and saw this. Love marble cake too. I see how you alternate the chocolate and vanilla. That is unlike any method I've yet seen, and it sure produces a visual result! I've placed dollops of chocolate onto the vanilla, then swirled (minimally) with a butter knife. But your method gives a much more eye-appealing result. 🙂

It looks so very pretty. I'm sure it tastes just as good as it looks!

[nixluvsjesus]

It's 3:18am and now I'm craving cake.... this looks delicious and so pretty too ❤️😘

[Ambient_Jazz]

I’ve just made this for a work do tomorrow and it’s taking all my willpower to not cut a slice right now! Thank you so much for this recipe ❤

[tracyhall]

I used a loaf pan for mine and I love the Color combo, its so cool.

[xtioxzg]

I love your recipes. I’m patiently waiting for a strawberry cake recipe 😭😭

[TamilGirl]

This looks so good. I will make this soon. Whenever I make layered cakes, I never know how much frosting to use between both cakes. Do you have any suggestions (grams or tablespoons)?

[jg]

I know this as Zebra cake. Marble cake (in my country) would have pink as well as the vanilla and chocolate with the colours gently swirled together randomly. I'll have to try this recipe - looks gorgeous. ♥️

[Cottonswab]

I'm craving cake! Im debating whether i should go downstairs now to catch the bus for school or make one right now...
