This homemade soft marble cake has the flavor of vanilla and chocolate. In Swedish this cake is called "Tigerkaka" which means Tiger cake because the stripes resemble the ones on a tiger. To get the nice marble pattern is the tricky part. The easiest way to make them is to gently stir a fork in the batter right before you place the cake in the oven.
