   Pour into 2 greased and floured 9 x 1/5 inch round baking pans. Bake

   NOTE: One day my husband Pat wanted a marble cake. So, I improvised.
   To make a marble cake from this recipe, simply reserve one third of
   the cake batter before putting in the cake pans. Then, melt one
   square unsweetened or semi-sweet chocolate either over boiling water
   or in the microwave oven. Stir to blend. Add to the cake mixture and
   mix well. Put one half of the chocolate batter in each cake pan in
   dollops, and swirl carefully, so as not to mix the white batter with
   the chocolate. What you are trying to achieve in a marble effect.
   Bake as directed. (BTW, this is GREAT!!)
