💡 What's interesting

The marbling technique not only creates a beautiful aesthetic but also allows for a balanced flavor profile, blending the sweetness of vanilla with the depth of chocolate. Nutritionally, the use of cocoa in the chocolate portion adds antioxidants like flavonoids, making it a slightly more complex treat than a plain cake.
