2 1/2 c Sugar
2 c Butter; softened, (this is 1
-lb.)
4 c Flour
10 Eggs
1 tb Vanilla extract
2 1-oz squares unsweetened
-chocolate; melted
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt or tube
pan.
Measure the sugar and butter into a large bowl, and beat with an electric
mixer at low speed until blended. Increase speed to medium and beat until
light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, and keep beating. Then add
vanilla and flour, and continue beating for about 2 minutes, scraping the
bowl from time to time.
Measure about 7 cups of the batter into the baking pan. Stir the melted
chocolate into the remaining batter, and beat until well mixed. Spoon
chocolate mixture over the plain batter, and swirl together using a knife
or rubber scraper. Don’t over-mix or you’ll ruin the marbled effect.
Bake for 1-1/2 hours, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the
cake (not the hole, the batter!) comes out clean. Cool cake in the pan for
10 minutes before removing from the pan, then let cool completely on a rack
before serving.
