Once in a while, you need someone or something to remind you what you are truly capable of doing and once in a while, you need someone to tell you that you have the will to do it all. One such book which has fired my neurons is ‘Lean In’ (Women, Work and the Will to Lead), a book by Sheryl Sandberg, Chief Operating Officer of Facebook & Nell Scovell, TV and magazine writer. It’s truly inspiring.

This is my 1st post for this year and so I wanted to send something very special your way. So my readers, my well-wishers, my friends, first-timers on this blog, this is for you, and may you benefit from this brave and courageous book. I know it’s late, but still

Wishing you a Very Happy and Prosperous New Year.

The Alchemist is another book I read about 10 years ago and I have never forgotten these wonderful quotes. I like to think of these quotes whenever I am trying to do something and things are not working the way I want it to.

“And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”

“It’s the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.”

——The Alchemist

How to make marble cake?

To make a marble cake start with a super moist vanilla butter cake batter. Transfer 1/4 of the batter into a separate bowl and then add cocoa powder and milk to create a chocolate batter.

After then pour the vanilla batter into a cake pan. Pour the chocolate batter in circles and with a toothpick or a skewer go in circles to create chocolate swirls.

This marble cake recipe is awesome and so moist. I finished one cake in 4 days all by myself. I can never resist a buttery coffee cake.

Some frequently asked questions about marble cake:

Can you freeze marble cake?

Yes, you can freeze a marble cake. It freezes well. You can wrap it tightly with a plastic wrap and place it in a freezer-safe bag. Leave it on the counter for an hour or two before serving so that it reaches room temperature. If you are in a hurry you can also microwave it. Once you microwave, try to have it immediately, or else it will tend to harden.

Can I make marble cake from a box mix?

You can use a white, yellow, or vanilla box mix. Make the batter as per the instructions. Transfer 1/4 cup of batter into a bowl and add cocoa powder and milk and make streaks.
