• 1 box yellow cake mix
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 4 large eggs
• 3/4 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil

How to Make Marble Bundt Cake

Combine the cake mix, eggs, vanilla extract, sour cream, vegetable oil, sugar and water in a mixing bowl using an electric mixer or stand mixer. Beat on high for 5 minutes or until everything is combined. Set aside while you melt the chocolate. 

How to Melt the Chocolate

Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in 20 – 30 second intervals. Stir and repeat the chocolate is melted. Remove 1/3 of the cake batter and stir it into the melted chocolate mixing well.

Spread half of the yellow cake mix batter into the Bundt Pan that has been sprayed well with Non-Stick Cooking Spray with Flour. Then spread the chocolate batter on top followed by the remaining yellow cake batter.

Using a butter knife, swirl the batters together to create the “marbled” look.

Bake for 30 to 35 minutes in a preheated 350 degree oven. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove the cake from the pan and let cool completely. Sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.
