  Preparation Time: 0:20
  Melt 1 tablespoon shortening and unsweetened chocolate in a
  small saucepan, stirring until smooth. Set aside. Cream
  butter and shortening; gradually add sugar to creamed
  mixture, beating well at medium speed of an electric mixer.
   Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition.
  Dissolve soda in buttermilk.  Combine flour and salt; add
  to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk, beginning
  and ending with flour mixture.  Mix just until blended
  after each addition.  Stir in flavorings. Remove 2 cups of
  batter, and add chocolate mixture, stirring until blended.
  
  Spoon one-third of remaining plain batter into a greased
  and floured 10-inch tube pan; top with half of chocolate
  batter. Repeat layers, ending with plain batter. Gently
  swirl batter with a knife to create a marble effect. Bake
  at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until a wooden pick inserted
  in center comes out clean.  Cool in pan 10 to 15 minutes;
  remove from pan, and let cool completely on a wire rack.
  Yield: one 10-inch cake.
