How to Make Butterscotch Chocolate Marble Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Generously grease and lightly flour a bundt pan. (Tip: Use baking spray with flour for easy cleanup!)
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, pudding mix, milk, water, oil, and eggs.
  4. Beat on medium-high speed for 3 minutes, until the batter is smooth and well combined.
  5. Pour two-thirds of the batter into the prepared bundt pan.
  6. In a separate bowl, mix the remaining batter with the chocolate syrup until evenly distributed.
  7. Gently pour the chocolate batter over the butterscotch batter in the pan.
  8. Use a thin knife or toothpick to swirl the batters together, creating a marble effect. Avoid over-mixing.
  9. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 25 minutes.
  10. Carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely. Once cool, drizzle with chocolate glaze (optional) or dust with powdered sugar for an elegant finish.
