Ever gaze lovingly into the eyes of handsome slice of cake?

No?

Well, allow me to introduce to you to Mr. Chocolate Marble “Peek-a-Boo” cake!

This handsome fudgy “Peek-a-boo” cake is somewhat magical and will actually stare right back at you… in a good way… not a creepy way. lol

See what I mean?!

Just look at those gorgeous swirly eyes! 😀

The beautiful swirls you see are actually very easy to create – the secret is in the batter.

Two separate cake batters are created, one white and the other chocolate. The white batter is poured into the cake pans first, then the chocolate on top. Since the chocolate batter is just slightly more dense, it will push down the white batter while it's baking. This forces the white batter to travel up the sides of the pan and do that awesome little swirly eye pattern you see in the photos!

Neat, eh?!

Easy peasy but it looks so impressive!

For this recipe you can use any kind of frosting you like however I prefer a chocolate buttercream with this (I'll be sharing my own homemade chocolate buttercream frosting soon!). It would also be amazing with some plain vanilla frosting.

When I made this, everyone couldn't wait to do a taste test and let me tell you it was a such a success!

I'd love to hear from you so please feel free to leave a comment in the comment section below! 😀
