6. Stir in flour mixture just until blended, being careful not to overmix.
7. Divide batter between 2 bowls.

10. Spoon the vanilla batter into one side of each prepared muffin cup, filling the cups two-thirds full.
11. Spoon the chocolate batter into the other half of each muffin cup.
12. Fill the 2 empty cups with water for even baking.
13. Bake muffins until a toothpick inserted in center of one comes out clean, 15-17 minutes.
14. Transfer the pan to a wire rack; let muffins cool for 5 minutes.
15. Turn muffins onto the rack; cool completely.
16. Note: To jazz these up, top half of a muffin with chocolate icing and the other half with white icing.
17. Also, you can make marbled muffins by swirling the two batters together.

These were GREAT! I made nine large ones. I thought the texture was similar to a poundcake.I added a touch of almond extract to the chocolate batter. We took them to a swim meet and my daughter thought they brought her luck! Roxygirl
