Marble Cake

Can't decide if you want chocolate or white? Then let's make a marble cake!










Ingredients:
1 oz square of unsweetened chocolate
(or use 3 tablespoons cocoa and 1 tablespoon melted butter or margarine.)
2 1/4 cups cake flour
3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/4 cup shortening
1/4 cup butter (soft)
1 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 large egg whites

Method:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a small sauce pan. Melt the chocolate. In the bowl of an electric mixer, sift together flour, baking powder, salt and sugar.










Add the the shortening, butter, 2/3 cup of the milk and vanilla. Beat on medium for 2 minutes.
Add the remaining milk and egg whites and beat for 2 more minutes. Pour half of the batter into a greased and floured tube, Bundt, or 9 x 13 inch pan. Add the melted chocolate to the remaining batter and pour over the top of the white batter. Cut through with a knife to achieve a marbled effect. Bake for 50 to 55 minutes for tube or Bundt pan or for 30-35 minutes if you are using a 9 x 13 inch pan.

Cool cake for 10 minutes after removing from the oven.










Cool completely and turn out onto plate.
Frost and eat. (Good idea to heed the flour dusting in the pan hint and let the cake cool before attempting to plate it)
