Easy Cake Mix Recipe
We all love easy recipes and need easy recipes in our recipe box. Especially if we bake for school or church functions. This marble bundt cake recipe is perfect for those times you need to make a cake fast.
It’s also a delicious recipe that you can definitely serve for family and friends and make even more elegant by decorating it with powdered sugar and fresh fruit. Sliced strawberries always look pretty around the rim of the plate with this cake. Add a sprig of mint too.
This recipe starts out with a boxed cake mix and the end result is delicious! When our son was on the football team, I was always looking for easy dessert recipes to bring for team dinners or to the snack bar for the Friday night games.

- 1 box yellow cake mix

- 4 large eggs
- Sour cream

Directions
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.
Baking Instructions
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.
