This salted chocolate marble cake is one of my favorite quick weeknight desserts because it comes together in under an hour and impresses everyone at the table. The combination of rich cocoa and flaky sea salt creates this beautiful contrast that just elevates the whole experience. I love using dark chocolate chips in this recipe since they're packed with antioxidants that make indulging feel a little bit better. The beauty of this cake is its simplicity; you don't need fancy equipment or unusual ingredients, just pantry staples and about twenty minutes of prep work. Trust me, once you taste that salty cocoa crumb melting on your tongue, you'll be making this again and again.
