Give your marble cake an upgrade by adding a rich chocolate ganache into the mix in this Marble Sheet Cake.
Marble Cakes (known as Marmorkuchen in Germany where they originated), were cakes that used two colors of cake batter for a marbled effect. Although chocolate and vanilla cake seems to be the most popular, people have used coffee, raisins, and molasses to get the dark color in the cakes. I am sticking with the chocolate and vanilla combination in this recipe, but stepping it up with an added chocolate ganache swirl.
