Maple Dark Chocolate Marble Cake

I hope you all had a great first week of spring! The warmer weather had us go outside a bit more than during the colder month and we finally have the first spring flowers blooming!

I really like recipes that are easy and quick to whip up with ingredients you most likely have on hand already. This marble bundt cake is pretty and absolutely delicious, sweetened with maple syrup and using dark chocolate. A slice of this Marble Cake definitely works for every season!
