This marble butter cake recipe is a keeper. 

这个mrs ngsks奶油蛋糕食谱太棒了. 原食谱来自Wendy, 也谢谢她!!

The cake is moist, soft with fine texture. My fil (father in law) loves butter cake very much.  He loves the butter aroma and  he said its filling and not like cotton soft cake has no texture like butter cake and it is too soft and too spongy :p :p

 我家公爱吃奶油蛋糕. 他说奶油蛋糕香,有口感又吃的包. 不像海面蛋糕太柔软了,咬没东西. ><
