Notes

Note: Can also make a marble cake, by melting choc and folding it into 1/3 of batter. In this case, put a third of white batter into base , level out. Then put in a third into which melted chocolate has been stirred in (abt 50gms dark chocolate) and level it, and then turn in the remaining third of the white batter and level out. Marble it gently with a wooden skewer.HAPPY BAKING!!
Note...Ghirardelli dark chocolate chips in this case taste divine.
