A marble cake (German: Marmorkuchen, pronounced [ˈmaʁmoːɐ̯ˌkuːxn̩] ), or Marmor (German: [ˈmaʁmoːɐ̯] lit. 'marble')) is a cake with a streaked or mottled appearance (like marble) achieved by very lightly blending light and dark batter.[1] Due to its zebra-striped pattern, it is also called zebra cake. It can be a mixture of vanilla and chocolate cake, in which case it is mainly vanilla, with streaks of chocolate.[2] Other possibilities are strawberry or other fruit flavors, or (particularly in marbled coffee cakes) cinnamon or other spices.
