A German Marmorkuchen is everyone’s favourite cake, adults, and kids alike. And it is superfast to make!
My kids go absolutely crazy for this fluffy cake. I caught them too often to count in the kitchen, secretly trying to nibble away the freshly baked Marmorkuchen. Nowadays, I have to hide it until I serve it.
This is the perfect Sunday afternoon cake- or any given day which calls for a quick and delicious cake as it is so quick to make and really everyone loves it.
German Marmorkuchen as a birthday cake
It also became our to go to birthday cake. I bake it as per the recipe below only in a round baking tray, whole sheet pan or loaf tin. The only thing I adjust is the baking time. And of course the decoration. You can add glitter, make it a number cake or, my personal favourite, a butterfly. The German marble cake is super versatile.
