Chocolate Mocha Peanut Butter Marble Cake
Recipe by:
Michelle Chen
This is a very moist cake that looks and tastes delicious too! It has just the right amount of sugar needed. The glaze makes the cake shiny and keeps its flavour sealed for many days. But you will soon find out that it's not necessary as your familiy will finish it in no time! I like to use a classic bundt pan as it makes the cake look great! You can buy them in any specialty cook shop. Try and have all your ingredients at room temp too.
