Marble Cake

"This recipe took on a life of its own; I have not made it in years and years. My sister-in-law, to whom I gave it decades ago, just told me her grandchildren request it regularly! So I tried it again in my quest for the perfect marble cake, and sure enough, I was sitting on it all along! I use trans-fat free margarine, in tubs, suitable for baking."

  1. This was basically an average pound cake -- what put it over the top was how well it turned out! I was a bit disappointed that it didn't "swirl" more, but that's my fault, not the fault of the recipe. I've never made a marble cake using chocolate syrup... I wonder what would happen if I poured the batter in the pan and then just swirled the syrup through it?? I used soymilk to keep it nondairy, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly, and it turned out well. Thanks for posting!
