Chocolate marble cake

🌟 Difficulty⏱️ Time🍽️ Serves🔪 Skill level
★ Easy55 min8–10Beginner

An easy and old-time-classic cake today. I made it for the school of one of my kids to sell and fund their trip. I chose this cake as many people like this cake and it is true that it disappeared immediately.
The best compliment was the one of my kid that when he saw that the cake was sold immediately, said the sweetest thing to my husband : "Mum has something magic in her hands that makes everything that she cooks delicious" .... Am I not lucky with such kids?

Chocolate Cake (My Go-To Birthday Cake)

🌟 Difficulty⏱️ Time🍽️ Serves🔪 Skill level
★ Easy55 min8–10Beginner

My favorite chocolate cake

This is THE chocolate cake that I chose for one of the first birthday cakes for my kids that became a very popular one among my kids AND their friends!
Given this success in taste, this is the one that I chose as base for several birthday cakes later on.
I only changed the decoration/topping to fit to the occasion and you will see how a humble cake can end up to such an awesome cake :) Trust me and try it, you will become addicted!
Special tribute to all my family (husband and kids) that helped me to decorate the following cakes. These were moments of pure happiness... I love you!
Let's start from the basics...

Greek Reversed Apple Pie

🌟 Difficulty⏱️ Time🍽️ Serves🔪 Skill level
★★ Easy1 hr8–10Beginner

What do apples when they want to be left alone with cinnamon? 

They hide inside a cake !
So, here it is the recipe with photos of my apple pie (it's the most common apple pie in Greece actually :) done with the precious help of my dear daughter who has done also the design (her specialty :)
Special tributes to my mother that was doing this cake since I can remember myself and my friend Ria that reminded it to me.


Apples, cinnamon, and a soft, golden cake come together in this classic Greek reversed apple pie. A simple, cozy dessert that’s a family favorite, perfect with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
