Marble Cake
100 % Whole wheat
I think everyone of us has
childhood memories attached to a marble cake.
I too get very nostalgic,
whenever I bite on a marble cake. As the bite brings back a whole wave of old
memories. Years have passed but this cake has by far beaten all the luscious
and rich bakes I have done. Not because they were any less in texture and flavor.
But, owing to the memories I have of it.The delicately streaked or psychedelic
patterns just look so gorgeous.
Today, I made this again on
special demand by my son.
If you follow my blog, you
know how particular I am of the health bit. So, this cake is again 100% Whole
wheat.
