How to Make Fudge Marble Pound Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and flour two 9x5x3 inch loaf pans.
  3. Set aside the cocoa powder packet from the cake mix.
  4. In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix, 1 (3.4 oz) package instant chocolate pudding mix, 3 large eggs, 1 cup water, and 1/2 cup vegetable oil.
  5. Beat at medium speed for 2 minutes until well combined.
  6. Measure 1 cup of the batter and place it in a small bowl.
  7. Stir in the contents of the reserved cocoa powder packet into the 1 cup of batter.
  8. Spoon half of the yellow batter into each prepared loaf pan.
  9. Spoon half of the chocolate batter over the yellow batter in each pan.
  10. Run a knife or toothpick through the batters to create a marble effect.
  11. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  12. Cool in the pans for 5 minutes.
  13. Loosen the cakes from the pans using a spatula.
  14. Invert the cakes onto wire racks to cool completely.
