Marble Cake

Kiddo #1 made an awesome marble cake and I would love to share it with you.

Prepare the chocolate batter in one bowl:

1 cup flour
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup cocoa
3/4 tsp. baking soda
3/4 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup shortening
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla

Prepare the vanilla batter in another bowl (same as the above except without the cocoa):

1 cup flour (you may need a little more if batter is too thin.  Use your discretion)
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 tsp. baking soda
3/4 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup shortening
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla





Swirl the two batters into a prepared 9x11 baking dish.  Be sure to swirl and not mix, so as to keep the two distinct colors.



Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes and ENJOY!
