A moist, rich keto marble cake.

I’m always pleasantly surprised to see the perfect marbling that happens, no matter how many times I’ve made a marble cake .

Am I the only one?

I generally like to add cream cheese to the batter when I make a keto-friendly pound cake . Provides more flavor and gives the pound cakes a bit more structure and moistness.
