Red Velvet Marble Cake

Do you know what happens when a red velvet cake meets a pound cake? The resulting marble cake is gorgeous! Even better, the cake tastes incredibly delicious, its moist, rich and unforgettable!

To create the beautiful well defined swirls, different batters are layered on top of each other. This is a much better technique instead of using the traditional method of swirling together the batters using a knife.

You can cover the cake and store at room temperature for about 3-4 days.
