How to Make Special Marble Fudge Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  5. Divide the batter in half. In one half, stir in the melted chocolate.
  6. Spoon alternating dollops of chocolate and vanilla batter into the prepared pan. Gently swirl with a knife or toothpick.
  7. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  8. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days (it tastes even better the next day!).
