Chocolate and Vanilla swirled into one delicious Pound Cake!
Pound Cake is a simple and delicious cake that goes with everything! Cream Cheese Pound Cake is a family favorite, however this Marble Swirl Pound Cake is catching up. The vanilla pound cake swirled with a hint of chocolate is a great flavor combination. To top it off, I made a simple glaze that complimented it perfectly. This is a great pound cake to have with morning coffee, afternoon tea, or even dessert! This would also make a great base in a trifle dessert. Once you try this Marble Swirl Pound Cake, you’ll enjoy it any time of the day!
