Chocolate Intrigue Marble Cake

This is a great 2 tone cake in which the syrupy chocolate batter "does its own thing" to the white batter. It is extremely moist and very pretty when sliced.

I made this yesterday for a b-day party today; have not tried it yet but I would just like to say that it was really easy to make and it looks beautiful. I put some pink, red and white candy hearts on the top. I changed it from four stars to three because while it looked great and was easy, it was on the heavy side and a bit dry but was still very goodReply
