Chocolate Surprise Cake

Perfection in a marble cake!

This is such a fun cake to make!  Adults and children just love it.  It's moist and light, and will taste great with chocolate or vanilla frosting.  It's similar to a marble cake, without the swirling, and the chocolate batter is made differently than any other marble cake I've ever made.

This, too, is a very old recipe and I'm afraid I can't remember how I came to have it, but, I'm sure glad it's in my recipe box, because I couldn't find this version of it anywhere. 

This is such an easy cake to make and it shows the "love" all over it!
