Marble cake

It is Christmas and New year time and there are cakes every where. So thought of making a cake at home. My mom always makes cakes in cake oven and I love them. During Christmas in my college days my friend used to bring this cake. Since I was not much into cooking those days I used to wonder how did she manage to make such cake. Today I have tried this again on Christmas and believe me, my family loved it. You will be surprised to know my little daughter does not like cakes. But when I made this, she loved it and keeps asking to make it again and again. So guys, do try and enjoy it.
